Hey guys, my name is Alex. Recently, what I’m afraid of is not taking school seriously enough and in effect not doing so well. With everything that’s been going on recently, unless it’s the weekend, the only thing that makes me happy is my bed and my pillow and days off from school. On weekends, seeing my girlfriend and my friends is really what my life is all about. My grades and my education is what’s important to me right now and it’s even more important now then before because I actually have to pay for it now. College is definitely very different from High School and College is not easy. The teachers aren’t too bad but I have to study and do my work every single day and rarely ever get a break. I don’t even remember the last time I had a normal night of sleep. I basically live my life for the weekends because other then that it’s the same thing every single day and it’s not that fun, it’s a lot of work. The thing I’m actually enjoying most about college is my business class. I find it to be very interesting and economics really seemed to be a good focus for me. So far I would say this is the only class that is helping me decide what I want to do with my life in the Business field. My biggest challenge in school would have to be Philosophy class. Its actually the easiest class I have, there are no tests or quizzes, but I have no idea how he will actually grade us or what will be my final grade. Now I will move on to a time in my life that I felt empowered. By far, the moment I felt most empowered was when I got driver’s license and then my car. These two things just open up a whole new level of freedoms and I was very excited when I first got them and even now driving and everything that has to do with it excites me and might even cheer me up when I’m down. As for my motto is really is a simple one. I believe that everybody has a certain potential and that potential is different for everybody because some people really are much smarter than others and some people are much better at doing certain things then others. So to me its all about trying my best to do what I can because there is no such thing as perfection and then the rest is really not up to me anymore, I did my part I did everything I can, the rest is to be played out by life and we just have to play along. I try to be a good person and a good student. I try not to start things with people unless they really do something stupid. I always work hard for my grades and I try to get the best grades I possibly can. My family is very important to me and so is my girlfriend. My family consists of the only people that I can actually be fully relaxed around and although my girlfriend isn’t actually part of my family but it feels like she is. That concludes my monologue.
