Today was my last day of high school. Today is the day I realized I need to change. In college I will not be the quiet person that sits in the back of the classroom, like I described myself in my scrapbook. I will ask questions. I will make myself be noticed. Today my old English III teacher said to geek dude "Your letter of recommendation was so easy to write about, for other students I really have to dig down the barrel. I mean they show up? But other than that I can't write about them." I realized I was that student, the ones teachers can't write about. My quiet nature is not memorable, I need to become more outgoing in the future, or else I will be forgotten in less than a year. Most of my teachers forget my name, and I don't blame them they have to teach hundreds of students every year. But it always feels terrible when my fellow classmates are so easily remembered without struggle.
I want to read back on this in a year and be happy that I have finally made improvement. I don't want to read this in a year and be disappointed at the fact that I have not changed.
I will make another list for college goals to accomplish, just like I did for high school.
I can proudly say I have completed every goal I set out for high school, but now I need a new one.
My List of Things to Accomplish:
-Join Organizations
-Do volunteering project
-Go on camping trips every time you get a chance
-Become closer to God
-Don't fall into temptation so easily
-Become more outgoing
-Ask questions to professors
-Study (Actually study)
-Be Social, don't sit in the back waiting for things to happen.
-Don't get discouraged easily, everyone has setbacks (They are not permanent).
I will do this
