It's Sophmore year. I have no idea who I am or what I like. It's been 17 long years of the same thing. There's so many things I haven't experienced yet, things almost everyone has done. Every day I ask myself the same questions: 'What else can I do?' 'Do I have any other hidden talents?' All I know is that I want to do more for myself this year. The person that didn't let others in is no more. I'm going to figure out who I am. Everyone deserves a change, and this time I'm going to make mine.
I'm not going to hide like I always do. This time I'm going to make a difference to someone, and be more confident in myself. There's no reason to be afraid. I should be able to be who I am, and not be concered about what others do. Just because I see someone doing something doesn't mean I have to do the same thing. I've seen so many people do this. They think when someone acts or dresses a certain way that they have to do the same. It's ridiculous, and I'm sick of it! One of the main reasons why I'm frustrated with everyone most of the time. All I do is watch some of my best friends turn into strangers. How do you loose sight of who you are so sudden, so quickly? Is it that easy? That has never happened to me so I wouldn't know.
My parents want me to do other things besides track. It's bogus! Honestly, I can't afford to do something else right now. I already do two events already, and not that many people are involved in them so I'm guaranteed a scholarship. All I'd have to do is open up the letter saying I have a full ride. Doing something else shouldn't be in the equation. Besides the only high grade I have is in Geometry. It's an honors class and my best subject my parents should of seen this coming. All they do is lecture me about my English and American Studies grades.
There's a lot on my plate right now, but I might have an idea on getting another A on my GPA. I'm taking creative writting. My English teacher says I'm an excellent writer. This way I can try something new and maybe find a career path. What's the harm right?
