These past months have flew by! I can't believe the summer has gone by so fast! Feels like it was just yesterday when I was at Dry Grad and just leaving to go to camp. CAMP. How I miss it so much but it was fun while it lasted. 7 weeks was definitely long enough! (I miss all my friends and family!) I met so many new and amazing people. It really impacted my life. I was a role model to many of the kids I worked with. We had lots of good times ...and there were bad too, but overall we learned to work together as a team --and that's what matters most! I can't wait to go back next year and really make the best of my last year and really try to motivate and inspire all those kids. Wish me luck on that !
After reading Dana's post...I've also come to realize that this is it. I'm no longer in high school! I can't keep doing all those things I've done in high school... going out all the time, skipping school, or not doing homework. Seriously. I got to be more mature! I'm in UNIVERSITY. My life is just starting. And when "all is well, it ends well." If i want my life to be good, i'm going to have to put in an effort. Nothing in life comes easy--or for free! If I'm paying for this education I'm freaking going to get the best out of it...and take advantage of it if i can! (My inner asian is speaking! HAHA) Once September 3rd hits, I'm going to take things differently. I've had all summer to have fun so now it's time to get down & dirty. I'm going to work hard! I need to work hard.
Why do i have to work so hard? Because my parents & family are counting on me to do well. Because I don't want to waste MY time and MY money. Because I want a good, happy life. Because i WANT to work hard. This university business isn't going to be easy or simple. I'll have to try my best. I'm going to expect that university is going to be stressful, difficult, long, and tiring but at the same time I'll be learning and socializing; becoming a strong, successful person that I want to be...that i WILL be. Doing that means I really got to get out of my high school habits... and stop spending so much money!
Always keep an optimistic point of view. Never give up. I have my family to support me and love me. FAMILY WILL ALWAYS BE FAMILY. No matter what happens, family will always be there. Always & I have GREAT friends that will always be by my side. And i'll be there for them, too! Sure we'll fight and have our different opinions once in awhile...but that's what makes a friendship so much stronger (in most cases at least) :/ we are learning more and more about one another each step of the way. I'm not able to go through this whole university thing without my friends. Hopefully they'll stick out for me cuz I know i will stick out for them :)
I really hope things will turn out in the end. I want to be a good role model to my brother and sister AND to my cousins. I want to make a positive impact on other people's lives and I think going to school and doing well is the first step. You can't help others until you help yourself.
