Hello everybody! As a college freshman i dont feel much different. It was never a big stresser in my life & i never thought that i wouldnt make it to this point. To me its just another phase in my life that i have to get by to reach my goal & all though its a sort of obstacle i plan to have a whole lot of fun on the way!! This summer i am dong the UTOP program & out of it i am expecting to make friends and gain credit hours that will help me towards my goal of completing my criminal justice major. One of the classes i am taking is English 1101 & expect to gain a better grasp on the writing process because to be honest i dont have any of it down packed. I just usually write what i think feels write and not what is write. I have written poetry about many of my family members & events in my life because sometimes that is the only way i feel i can vent. An example of this is a poem i wrote in 6th grade about my nana. She passed away so i just sat & wrote of what we cant do & the memories we will always have.
In writing i believe my strengths are to right what i feel off of what i know & not just the facts of the matter because i believe that every ones opinion should be heard and not just another repeat of what we've already read.
Although i have strengths i know that i have many weaknesses. My grammar is no where close to what you would see in the rule books & i tend to wonder in thought & lose focus when i find another point that i want to enter into my writing. To make UTOP or any event successful all you have to do is have a possitive attitude & outlook on whats in front of you & everything will turn out right.
Right now im just excited about fall semester & being out on my own..lol..because when is that not fun (well unless you got 600 bills..but for now its great!!) A list of good stuff in my life:
*Family *Friends * happiness * & the well being of me & everybody i care for..what more could i ask for. Fear is something i try to embrace i usually dont feel it & im not going to start now over just a new transition..but anxious is excitement for me when i just cant wait to experience something & thats just simply doing me on my own with out rules of my family tuggin on me as much.
I am going to be majoring in Criminal Justice. since i was little i've always wanted to be in law enforcement; from being a sniper to a cop to a lawyer..But now i'm focused on becoming an FBI agent & then maybe coming back for a law degree so i can settle down later in life.
The only question i have is am i going to be able to withstand being in dorms instead of my own comfortable room because i know with all my heart im going to miss the comfort of my home.
Well to remember just know im me & i wont do you wrong or try to bring you down & hope that i leave a lasting & good impression on all of ya'll just as me being me. & you should remember my name because..lol..its not what that needs to be forgotten unless you just absolutely cant stand me.
Aaron, I love what you say about fear and anxiety: that's a great way to look at it. And sometimes, with a little bit of work on our perspective, we can make something that seems scary into an opportunity! I really missed the comforts of home, too, but I adapted to dorm life pretty quickly. I definitely bought ear plugs so that I could get some peace & quiet at night when I read and went to sleep. You'll find some tricks that work for you. (:
