What I want to change about last year is my confidence level. I was not confident and everyone took advantage on my kindness . I did not get what I wanted with the confidence I had. I wanted to earn my respect with more confidence.
Within the last year, I have changed my mind on many subjects. One of the things that changed about me was my thoughts on getting involved my school and trying to interact with people. spending my first three years of high school in classes with people in higher grade levels than me, I never felt truly included in groups. Senior year was when I decided to change my mind on how I wanted to be seen in my environment, and so I stepped out of my shell and found people that to this day are some of my closest friends.
One thing I changed my mind on in the last year was my view on people and grades. Throughout high school, I went through many phases which caused me to have different levels of self esteem. During my junior and senior year, I had a pretty low self esteem because of the amount of pressure I received from my parents because my SAT scores were less than satisfactory to them. My parents compared me to so many people who had better scares than I did, causing me to think of everyone who was in a higher level class or had a higher SAT score was superior to me. Because of my inferiority complex, I was never able to completely be myself and constantly felt like I was going to be judged or looked down upon by the honors kids in my AP classes. I felt like they were perfect while I was a pathetic nobody.
Seeing this, one of my closest friends, one day, pulled me aside and tried to show me how imperfect all the other students, in that AP class were (She didn't do it to be mean, she just wanted me to realize that those honor students were not as perfect as I thought they were, that they were human, like me). After that, I spent time observing how the other kids acted in class and even tried to socialize with some of them. When doing so, I saw each person more as an individual rather than a statue of perfection. It also made me see how grades do not make an individual superior to others in any way, that all people, in the end, are essentially the same.
One thing I changed my mind about in the last year would be confidents. During this last year with school and sports I lacked confidents. During school I was always shy about standing out and wouldn't do things like participate. Also in sports the fact that I was really good they would try to bump me up in different divisions and the coaches can see that I wasn't confident in myself. I learned how to fix that. I learned that I have to be more confident in life and take risks. I learned that its okay to make mistakes or to stick out because that makes me who I am.
In the last year I changed my mind about playing a sport in college. All my life I played softball, and once I became a teenager I was playing year around on a travel team. I had many schools interested and ready to offer me a spot, however, in the back of my mind all I could think about was how softball took up so much of my time I had to put aside my artistic interests in order to focus on getting good enough to play at the collegiate level. I trained through the winter with and without my team, took lessons, played on the varsity softball team all four years of high school, played tournaments throughout summer and fall, and practiced every other day of the week when I wasn’t playing in tournaments. Then, at some point and time I realized I didn’t love what I was doing anymore, and I had missed so many opportunities to explore my artistic abilities and interests for something I didn’t even want to do anymore. Because I did love my team and my coaches I followed through with my commitment with the team for this past fall and summer season, but I made the ultimate decision to not continue to play in college.
Within this last year I have changed my mind about many things. One thing in particular that I have changed my mind about this last year was to discontinue cheer the last season. Cheer was something I could look to in school closest to dance I could participate in. My last season of senior year I decided to not cheer because I believed it was best for me to get a job before college to help go towards college. I was sure that not doing cheer my last season would also clear up my schedule much more and would help with my social life and I was right. Although I did miss cheer I stayed in touch with the team, visited practices and still was involved.
One thing that I have changed my mind about in the last year is my career choice. I originally wanted to become an embryologist. An embryologist is one of those scientist who work and study IVF, or In-Vitro Fertilization. I recently changed my mind because I realized that that career was not for me. I now want to become a pediatric or a neonatal nurse. I never thought I would change my mind on my career choice. It made me realize that you can change a lot in a year.
Within the last year hi have become more social with other people. I used to be the one kid who would rather do something on his own rather than with a group, but since I became a senior in high school I decided to change that. There are some times where I still do things on my own but that is only because the people I works with are slow, don't know the materiel, or because they aren't working. I believe i have become more social and that hopefully I will stay like this.
Over the past year I have changed my views on life. I came to the realization that life is too short and that I shouldn't be stressing out so much. Instead, I should be focusing more on the little things. The things that make me happy, things that I take for granted. Such as family, friends, movies, music, and so on. Since the I have been trying to live more peacefully, more relaxed, more joyous.
What change i made in the last year was change was changing my major of being an architect to a computer science major. I thought that I loved designing and seeing my creation come to life, I ended up just loving computers. I took a computer science class and I just loved the idea being able program a game, be a developer. It also fell in love with computer hardware, I love how they coexist.
In the last year, I began to feel the need for a job and at my young and no college degree, I knew finding one wouldn't be so easy, or well paying. After some time of looking, I found a job at a pharmacy, delivering medicine. I decided to quit the job the first week of getting hired because I realized how the job wasn't in my benefit at all. They payed below minimum wage, and they would only allow me to work 3-4 hours a week. Working such low hours would be a great thing if it was't for the incredibly low pay, and the fact that the job required more than what was given. They didn't pay for my gas, and I would only be making around $2 dollars a day, at most. Gas would be around $20 so right off the bat, I would be making $4 in profit. This experience taught me to be smarter when looking for a job, and to make sure what I am getting myself into.
