Writer's Block: My Dream Job
I love math, and I would love to be a math professor, but I am horrible at public speaking.
I also love helping and coming up with solutions. I also would love to be a chemist and find ways to cure disease or make things safer.
When I was younger, I thought I could do anything. My kindergarten teacher was so excited for my future, but when I got to my second school for elementary and middle school, they were not as enthusiastic. I didn't get to go ahead and GATE was kind of a waste of time. The students just year younger than me were allowed to take tests to determine whether they could go to our class for math. In high school, I was not very motivated and I kept to myself. I became very lazy. Now, I see that holding myself back has ruined my future. I didn't get into the top three colleges I wanted and I feel like I'm being held down. I promised myself that I would work hard this year to show people what I can do, but I don't have the highest expectations. I hear it's even harder to transfer than to get in as a freshman.
I don't understand why I'm lazy. Perhaps I am being complacent. But I almost feel miserable. I'm totally disappointed in myself. The only thing that really makes me happy is listening to Fall Out Boy.
