Reflecting on the first semester of my senior year, I've realized that I cannot rely on motivation to get my work done. I just do it whether I want to or not. I might struggle with it now, but it will benefit me in the near future. My mother would always tell me "Do you think I enjoy going to work!?"every time I would complain about completing a chore.Meaning that it no body wants to do what their told, but they do it anyways and make a sacrifice for the well-being of others.Life will bombard us with with annoying tasks from time to time, and we all have to accomplish them against our own will for the sake of our success and our children's future.
What I've enjoyed most throughout my senior year are my friends. They have also taught me important life lessons.Of course, some came and some left, but those who truly are my friends are meant to stay in my life forever. They were there at my worst and at my best. They made me realize what kind of people I wanted to keep in my life. Thanks to them dragging me to join new things with them, I found a sport that I was actually good at, running. More specifically, Track and Field and Cross Country.
What I will always regret is not attempting to come out of my shell.I slowly became introverted after losing one of my parents and just shut everyone out.I never even tried to become outgoing. I was just dragged to school parties and to hangout with other people, but nonetheless I went. My mom never tried to change me either because she was okay with me being an introverted and isolated teen. That way she wouldn't have to worry about me sneaking out or going to unsupervised parties because I was usually at home working on my homework.However, being safe is not fun.I want to be fun, bubbly, and outgoing.
My high school career is coming to an end and it hasn't hit me yet. I'll probably be receiving my diploma and it still won't hit me. Honestly I'm just going along for the ride now.I'm ready to be out on my own with my cousin. Taking care of myself and not have kids running around everywhere.After being under the wing of my overprotective parents and their strict rules, we I am ready to roam free.
