“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be.” I guess I’m still looking for that treasure, since I have no my idea where my heart will take me. This quote to me represents that life is a journey, and in the end, we’ll be right where we belong. It also shows that everyone is a different person, since the term “treasure” could be defined as anything, from precious memories to money. I believe our decisions in life will lead us to what we will eventually get and deserve.
As cliche as it sounds, my family and best friends are the most important people to me. These are the people I grew up with; my best friends are all from elementary school. I know that they always have the best interest for me at heart, whether I agree or not. They make my life worth living for. No matter how much they drive me crazy, they’re always going to be my favorite people.
What I like about myself is that I’m dedicated when I want to achieve something that I want. But this only applies when I really, really want something. I will do whatever it takes to get it. I will not try if it’s something that doesn’t feel right to me. Whatever I want at the moment is most likely the most important thing to me during that time span, even if it isn’t exactly the “right thing”, if that makes sense. For example, I was very determined to get one of my high school teachers to let me take my final during another class period because I would be out during mine. And for what reason? To go see the Backstreet Boys on the Today Show. Usually this isn’t allowed, but I knew I was a good student, so I got it my way with some convincing.
I think what I enjoyed the most about college life at Baruch right now is meeting new people. This is the first time in my life that I’m not surrounded by a group of old friends, or at least people I know of. I’m in a completely different environment, and I’m slowly starting to get use to it. However, when someone asks me, “How’s college?”, I still don’t have a definite answer for them, it’s always an “it’s okay” reply. I hope it will eventually change to a more positive answer.
