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.
