(no subject)
i guess i haven't posted an entry for a while. have i been busy, lazy, or perhaps just nothing to write? who knows?
but one thing i do know: there is but one year left of high school. then, college. have my accomplishments adequately qualified me for the likes of stanford and mit? only time will tell. i suppose eminem's lyrics do hold true: you only get one shot, do not miss ur chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime...
have i missed my chance, wasted away these years? i hope not. i do realize, however, that i cannot, will not accept failure. i want to live my life so that, when i look back, i feel no regret. right now, if i had a chance to relive these past three years, would I?
certainly, some experiences have been memorable; others forgettable. developed lasting friendships, led superficial ones, and abandoned others. tried and succeeded, yet reached for the sky and came up with dirt. come into my own, yet developed tragic flaws. so perhaps, the only answer is, i dont know. god has chosen not to impart me with this knowledge. perhaps wisdom will come in the future, when all is said and done.
