I still can’t believe I’m a college student. Just the other day, I was in the 3rd grade looking up to the 5th graders thinking “Man, will I actually make it there?” Now, I’m old and forming my future goals that are intended to make me happy, and honestly, I wouldn’t have known how to do this if it wasn’t for the 4 years in high school.
I started Brooklyn Technical High school as a shy and awkward person (I’m still awkward; that hasn’t changed,) but with that, I was also a very insecure and too kind of a person. Since I went to a TINY catholic middle school, I didn’t know what to expect as I got dunked into one of the biggest high schools in America. The diversity there was the first thing I noticed and the diversity is what changed me.
As I went through sophomore year, a lot of conflicting situations happened to me that made me realize what I was weak in. I no longer became a push over, I became blunt, but I still had the soft heart that I try to maintain. Junior and senior year came and that was an esteem booster. I started taking care of myself, lost weight and, simply put, became a lot happier with life. Of course, the work load was ALOT, but I managed.
Now going into college with this open out look of life, I expected to meet new people from around the world, with different viewpoints in hopes of learning even more. Hopefully it’ll be fun when I get more involved.
As of right now, I just hope I can manage things. I want to be social but I also want that 4.0. So let’s see if I can attempt to balance that. I also hope to find a place where I truly belong. Besides that, I can’t think of much when put on the spot. Ask me back in a few and watch me rant about 1000 different things I want to do.
