What you really want

I have a friend that really wants to become a professional soccer player. He constantly trains and tries to find new ways to achieve his dream. He may have difficult times, but he always stays determined. I want you all to really think about what you want. Take a minute out of your day, and think of the most perfect version of your life. How would it be? Maybe on a beach somewhere with your house in the background and your significant other walking towards you. If this is your fantasy then do it. Why be scared? Why waste time worrying about what will happen? Just choose something and do it. Worst case scenario you try something else until you get what you really want.

Still haven't found what im looking for...

If this was the final moments of your life how would you spend it? Would you want to spend it doing school work? Would you want to spend it finishing an essay or doing a project? OR would you want to spend it in another country with good friends, good food, and a great occassion? I believe that we should not have to spend our time always under stress about what we did or did not do for school. Life should be about enjoying the moment. Enjoying every little detail that is given too you. I know what your thinking:
1. How do we enjoy life without success?
2. If we should enjoy every moment then why not enjoy school work?
Well its simple, to enjoy life you do not need success or money. In fact, if we were in a sad emotional state, all you would need to do is smile and it releases tension in your cheek bones and you begin to release stress. So if you are really in a bad mood just smile. However if you are not one who smiles a lot then do not worry. You do not have to smile to get results. Why? Because results come from you. The only thing that can make you enjoy life is things that you enjoy. Do not worry about the things that matter because most likely you will get them done because they matter so much to you. Instead worry about the things that are important like not having time to do something you enjoy in life. Secondly, school can be enjoyable. I am not saying do not go to school. By all means if you enjoy all the work and stress go to school. However, if can think of ten other places you would rather be than school, then you should go to those ten other places. Life is a choice. You have to choose where you go, how you want to be portrayed, and most of all what your looking for in life. If you have found a plan and you know exactly what you want to do, then good luck. As for the rest of us we are just going to try and enjoy every moment.

What is your reason for school?

Do you want to become a business man? Or how about a teacher? Whatever your reason is for going to school, I am sure it is admiral. However, I am a hundred percent sure that all students have thought about, spoke about, and even consider stoping going to school. Why? Why is it that all of us have a plan and think about quiting half way through? Some people think that they go to school to figure out what they want to do with their life, but the truth is they have no idea even when they are done with school. I have a cousin who graduated college with a teaching degree and decided to become heavly involved in sports management. So honestly their is no real way of knowing what we want to do unless we try different things. So I ask you fellow class mates why not try and make mistakes? Try and screw up. The worst that can happen is that you learn something new.

What Does it Take to Accomplish your Dream?

To do anything in life you need a dream. Actually you do not even need a dream you just need a goal in mind. You have to have a want to do something, whatever it is. If you do not want to do something it will never happen. Things will not happen in life if you do not want them to happen.
A great example of this is people who want to get fit and workout, but do not go to the gym regularly. These people make me laugh because they are the ones who claim to want it the most but do not take action towards it. They could have personal trainers to help them out a few times a week or develop a schedule to make them go everyday. There are so many ways to help themselves out but it seems that they just do not want it enough. These are peoples mistakes, that they want something but they do not want it enough. It is one thing to say you want something and a completely different to take action towards it. So please class mates do go towards your goals full speed. Do not hold back, slow down, or stop for any reason.

Your life, your choice

If you had the choice between attempting to start your life before or after college what would you choose? Which would be more beneficial to you? Well the everyday 'suit and tie person' would tell you, that you must have a college education to get any good job. In today's society this is probably true, but there are some exceptions. People like Albert Einstein, Ben Affleck, Andre Agassi, Christina Aguilera, Louie Armstrong, Bill Gates, and Woody Allen are a few people to name that did not finish or even go to college. Most of these names are recognizable to all young people. These people decided to make something of themselves and went for there dreams. This is not to say that you can not go for your goals with schooling, but if people want something they have to give up everything for what they love. I think the main idea to realize is that you can do anything in life as long as you have a strong aspiration to do it. So go out and live your life.

True or False

Life is difficult. True or False? (Did anyone say anything about easy) Life is about mistakes. True or False? (No one said you could not make them). So I ask you why must we students do the same thing everyday? Is it expected of us? Or just in our normal routine to go to school?
I had a very close friend of mine that took a chance to move over seas to Italy. He went there in search of a soccer team that would help him get to his goal of becoming a famous soccer player. This friend ended up playing for a well known team for about a year and a half. He was making seventy five thousand dollars a year and had a small apartment. Unfortunately, he did himself an injury and was unable to play any longer.
The point of this story is to inspire. This friend could not have known what was in store for him if he did not try. He attempted it, did it very well, and ended with unfortunate injury. He then came back to the states and finished school.
So true or false, is my friend living his life to the fullest? You tell me.

"So the professor was like write something and i was like, okay".

     The only possible thing that I would be most interested in and would most like to write about it is soccer. However because I am in a good mood I will write about something else. Like, school.
      Do we really need school? Is it really a necessity? Do we have to go to school to be successful? Honestly, I am not really sure. Why? Because some of the most successful people in the world did not go to college. Some did not even go to high school and now they are millionaires. I AM WRITING ABOUT THIS TO INFLUENCE MY FELLOW PEERS!!! Life is not always about doing the write thing. I am not saying to drop out of college, by all means do not take that message away from me. I am simply saying exactly what professor Behr has said "Take chances! Make mistakes! Get Messy!". If you have a choice in life to do something spectacular do not be afraid to take that chance because it is to hard.
Make a mistake and learn from it. This seems to be the way that our parents and grandparents succeeded in life. By doing what they thought was right and making a mistake. So by all means go out explore dare to dream and live that dream.
