Hope for the Future


I have just rounded the corner into my last month of high school, and all I can think about is how quickly it has all gone by. When I think about myself as a freshman and how I have changed since then, I wonder if my high school experience has been all that I thought it would be. Have I become who I thought I would? Have I accomplished everything that I wanted to? I also think about my future and what it will be like to be that scared little freshman once again. However, this time I would like to start things off a little differently. I am going to make a list of various things that I hope to accomplish and who I hope to be by the time I graduate from college. This way, I will be able to look back and see how similarly or differently my life has turned out from the way I thought it would.

-Be someone my friends and family can always count on

-Study abroad

-Become fluent in Spanish

-Remain close with my current good friends

-Make a plethera of new friends in college

-Travel to Greece

-Get better at making decisions

-Learn to dance

-Take a class for fun

-Join a volleyball team

-Learn to drive a stick-shift

-Learn to sail

These are just a few of the many things I hope to do and become in college. I know it will be a unique experience full of different opportunities for me to grow and learn; I just hope I will take advantage of all of them and become someone I am proud of.
