Success

     The true mark of success is if you can look back on the past with a glinting smile and look forward with hope in your eyes. You can never achieve this if you don't understand your limitations may it be time or your goals are just unrealistic. You have to come to terms with this because you aren't going to become the next Einstein if you have a below avg IQ, and your definitely not gonna get a six pack in a week because it takes work. In life things take time and you need to be able to balance your goals out, and build up to them to work day after day or maybe once a week, but doing a little at a time goes a long way. You need to commit to it, and put that time in effort because it is your dream and no one else is going to care except for you. Everyone says they are going to do this or that when they grow up, but not everyone is going to do so because people stop pushing themselves. They stop reaching for their dreams and settle. They settle for good enough, and they give in to public opinion about how the task at hand is impossible. These people give in and give up their will to others or their fear, for they believe that it is to hard or when once they achieve it they won't be able to handle it. Once you give in you are just gonna be another face in the crowd, and I'm not saying you need to become famous. What I'm saying is that you need to give your life meaning with something you are willing to commit to, with something that will make you proud to be you.
     For me at least when it comes to school I want to get a five on the AP test for  AP World, and get straight A's. I know that seems kind of cliche and a bit comical because of AP World and Honors Math Analysis, but I'm tired of settling and watching everyone else succeed while I'm still standing there coughing on the dust they left behind. I want to find passion I once had as a child. A child filled with hopes and dreams, and I don't intend to let him down.
     Career wise I think I want to become an author or go into a medical profession I'm not really sure yet but when I do I'm going strive to push on through all the classes, and accomplish my dream what ever it may be.
