It is inherently foolish to ask a person to summarize themselves in a couple of words, sentences, or even pages; but for the sake of cooperation I will try.
I am something unknown and unknowable, something deep and something incredibly, incredibly shallow. I am a person of extremes, and opposites, a person of Yin and Yang. I am more than a girl, less than a woman, and something extremely close to crazy. I am loud, obnoxious, sensitive, caring, helpful, selfish, and above all lazy. I am also driven. I care about my friends and family passionately, I hate my enemies equally as passionately, I have a dog. I’m obsessed with baking, I cook for my family, I struggle with the opposite sex, I value alone time, but I need my friends the way a starving man needs water. In the story of my life I play all at once the hero, the villain, and the plucky girl, but somehow in other peoples stories I am only an ancillary character, or just a person passing through. I have no limits because I place none on myself, and I will stop at nothing to be everything… Especially in college. I worry about clothes, classes, boys, Professor R. Trumbach, and most of all I worry about failing… myself. Failing myself in the respect that it is my goal to start afresh and be the best I can be at everything I touch. C’s in any of my classes is not an option, and neither is failing Trumbach’s class because he scares me. I want to embody the success I hope to achieve, and clothing is a part of that. I must look as on point as I feel, and/or wish to be. College is already so different from high school in the respect that the choices are mine and no one else’s. This is at once refreshing and scary because it means that if I fail I have no one to blame but myself. The failing will lie with me. This is also not an option. I don’t know how my first year at college is going to change me but whatever the results I’m in it to win, and that’s all there is to it.
At the risk of sounding cliche, I am me, this is college and that is all.
THE END
THE BEGINNING
In the end you said failing would be on you, but I have noticed that you are a strong willed person and I cant imagine you allowing yourself to fail. Also your completely not alone the people around you want to see you succeed. I want to see you succeed in life, one day I want to be able to say “You know that girl Alisha Smith, the rich one with all the power? Yea I used to be her peer mentor.”
