I remember my first day of high school, energized and excited to meet my new classmates and teachers. Having been accepted into Bronx Science, my parents had high expectations of me and expected me to do well, pushing me harder in order to get me to complete my assignments and study for the tests so that I can be successful in school and in life. But where did I end up? After the first few months of high school I realized a truth about myself and I was forced into closing myself off from others and avoiding new friendships. Is this how I will pass my time in high school? The same daily routine everyday? Wake up, go to school, attend class, go home, go on the computer, and lastly going to sleep.
Here I am now, in college, hoping to further my education and get a job in the future. I wonder about my future every day, not knowing where I will end up, what will become of me, and wishing for something to happen that will totally change who I am. I hope that during my time in college, I will be able to find something of interest to me and attempt to pursue the goals that I may have.
I am not sure if someone else came up with this quote already or where it comes from but I felt in a sense that I do this sometimes. “When all else fails, try the unthinkable.” When I think if this, it kind of relates to “thinking outside the box” where you try to solve a problem by looking at it in another perspective or trying something you would normally believe to have not worked.
Because of my many insecurities, I am not able to see very far into my future and where I will end up, but instead, all I can think about is what is going to happen tomorrow and what are we going to do in class.
