1-4-11 Toast For Change

    When I think of the word "change" so many things come to mind that I wish I could change such as my self esteem/motivation, the choices that I make and make financial issues that are going on around me.

     I have a low self-esteem and I set low standards for myself on a regular basis. I give up easily, I say I am I can't and I won't do things, and I always thought thought that I would never be successful. All of this truly started to turn around for me when I got into the seven schools that I applied to and two of them happened to be my top two school selections. In all honesty all I could do was cry tears of joy and thank god for the road that he is taking bringing me on. I am just happy that colleges actually want me on their campuses.

    Financial issues are another problem that is currently major in my life right now. I honestly have not seen neither of my parentes struggle before like I am watching them do now. With all of the things financially that is occuring, I really don't want to go out of town for college for the sake of saving. But my mom is encourage me to go to expirence different things and don't let home issues bind me into staying in Maryland. This whole sitution is going to become a learning expirience to finally realize that I cant let the bad things influence the good in my life.

     So in 2012, I will have self-confidence, I will have self-determination and motivation, I will get to college and live my dreams, and  I will make my parents and family proud of me. this is my year to show what Ive got and  shine bright
