Five people who can help me achieve my goals and dreams are my mom, dad, sister, and a few friends. The obvious response to why my parents will help me achieve my dreams is because they will support me no matter what. However, there are a couple of other reasons as well. My dad is a very precise person. One thing that I've learned from him is that if you are going to do anything, it doesn't matter what it is, do it the right way and the best way possible. I think that this skill is key to achieving goals and dreams and he will always help me improve. My mom really pushes me. She always strives to make me the best I can be and even though I hate it sometimes, it will pay off in the end. I disagree with almost everything my sister will say, but I still have learned a lot from her. She is never afraid to say her opinions or try something new or push the limits. I think it is an important factor to achieve goals. She wants the best for me, supports me, and, even though she doesn't know it, I've learned a lot from her. I have a number of friends I can talk about, but I am going to pick two who have helped me in the past few months. My friend Austin is interested in science just like me. We bounce ideas off each other and it has a positive outcome every time. The last person who can help me achieve my goals is my friend Mackenzie. She always has something to ask me about space or science. The questions are extremely difficult for me to explain to someone who does not have a tremendous amount of scientific knowledge. It is probably one of my favorite things to do. The questions force me to explain concepts and my own unique ideas in the simplest terms possible. It forces me to really understand what I am talking about. I think this is a positive thing and it gives me confidence which I think is helpful when it comes to fulfilling goals. She always wants to know more. I have known her for over ten years now and I know she will always support my decisions.
A couple of things I need to do are start my college essays, clean my room, clean my car, apply to colleges, and play my guitar. I plan on applying to two more colleges by the end of the week and also starting my essays or at least one essay. I really need to play my guitar. I haven't played it by myself for a long time and so I am making it number 3 out of my priorities. If any time remains I will clean my car and room.
Great reflection, especially the five people. I appreciate that you were thoughtful in why each person were in your 5 list. I hope your sister has a chance to read this blog, maybe your mom can refer her to it. Maybe you can add playing your guitar to the end of each day list. Pick up your room for 5 minutes and strum that guitar for 5 minutes at the end of your day.
