My Sophomore Year

There is just so much that happened my sophomore year, so much that I learned so much that happened. Like friends are not forever they will stay with you for a while and then everybody goes their own way. I also learned to value life because you never know when your time has run out, or to value your family your friends because you really don’t know what you have until it is not there anymore. My sophomore year I learned that I had a voice that I could help make a difference. This year I learned to value my life I had one of the toughest experience and it really helped me open my eyes.

I got really lucky with the teacher that I had this year they were just so helpful and nice, really understanding. I learned that the teachers are here to actual help us not make our lives hell. I know that the teachers just want the best for us they want to help us succeed; make a better future for ourselves. This year I got my priorities straight I learned what I wanted and what I needed I learned who I could trust and talk to, and I was able to tell who was not a real friend.

I learned that in order for me to be able to do what I want in life I have to start making it happen now. That I cannot just wait around waiting for a miracle to happen I have to make my wishes come true and that is something I will accomplish. I want the best for me in life I don’t want to struggle like my family, like my cousins even though I love them to death they made some really stupid decisions. My cousin never finished high school and now she is struggling working in a restaurant where they treat her bad. Now not only does she have to put up with that job but she is a single mother and I know I don’t ever want that for me I want something better.

Not only have I changed, but I have grown as a human being. There is just so much that happened to me and my family, that these things are so hard so terrible that you just have to be strong and move on, I learned to live my life happily every day and even though I am very grumpy I try my hardest to not let other people affect me because I have learned that they do not matter. If I let other people affect my life and stay mad for ever that is just harming me. There are some people that believe that I cannot accomplish my dreams that I have to lower my standards a little but I will not, because I know that I can be anything or anybody I want to be.

I know where my family comes from, where I come from and I certainly know that is one place I don’t want to go back to. I learned that in order to accomplish this and make me a brighter future, I have to start now, it all beings in school. I know where I am headed and I know what I will make of myself I will make my parents proud of me, but most importantly I will make me happy!!!
