I thinking about what to write a lot has come to mind. This week has in many senses been a transition week for me. This past weekend I graduated from high school and then went on the attend my freshman orientation for college.
So what's so big about having two major milestones in about 48 hours? The fact that it got me thinking about a lot of things, mainly having to do with myself and the future. Within the next few months I am going to spend a lot of time getting ready for the future and meeting new people, as well as saying good bye to adolescences.
My first thought was how am I going to manage it all? What I then began to discover is that, I tend not to push myself as hard as I should. My mother and I were talking more about exercise and staying in shape. Many people do not push themselves hard enough to find their limits or even to realize what they are capable of. I began to think a lot about my little sister. She may be younger than me in age but she has been a role model for me in this. She is always pushing herself to do better in sports or in school. Because of this hard work and dedication she is one of the smartest in her class and one of the best athletes I know. Now not to say that I do not have good qualities but one of the things I need to learn from her is how to push yourself harder and to never settle for anything. College is not going to be an easy thing but I need to push myself to do more and to be a better me in a lot of things one of them is just in general to not be so lazy when it comes to education and to exercise.
I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my future. One of the things I realized is I need to start to think about less of where I want to be in ten years and more of who I want to have impacted. A lot of the things available in my major and field of study is to travel to bring care to the less fortunate. Something that I can see myself doing. Now I've always considered myself to be a dreamer. My dreams usually tend to be around a fairytale sort of future especially when I am stressed. I think that it is very important for me to switch from being a dreamer to a doer. There is a lot of things I could be doing to better myself and the world around me if I spent less time dreaming up what could be and more time using the talents I have to make that and so much more possible.
So with this whole new thing of officially becoming an alumni of high school and moving on to the next chapter of live I need to take the time to realize who I am and who I want to be.
For my life right now my goal is to enjoy life but to push myself to work harder in what I do. That means to study harder to train harder and to be a better person. Especially to a few friends these past few weeks I have not been being too amiable to. And to myself because I have been letting myself down.
