The Future

     What does future mean? What is the future that awaits us all? I have been thinking about my future recently and thought that there is no answer to what that will await me. There is no way I would know what my future will be like, for I have to decide that myself. For every decision that I make in life, there will be a result to things. No one can really change what they have done or go back to the past and start over again. We will also have to look at the road ahead and make better decisions.

     There are something that I really regretted. Things that I feel that I should have done better, but there is no turning back. I have to create a new future and everything is depended on what decisions that I make. Although we can't predict what will happen in 20 years, you could start creating it by every step we propose. If we make bad decisions in life, it would lead of to a bad future, but we can always change out decisions change that around. We decide our future ourselves and no one can do it for us. Everyone has a different road to follow, a different dream, a different goal, and a different inspiration.

     I have started to making a new decision in my life that will lead me to be successful. I have to be successful in school and my education to go to a good college. If I want to go to a good college, I will have to try my best in accounting for all my grades and keeping my studies up. I think that these are the decisions that I should make right now. For the future ahead, I will decide on that later. Until then, I will focus on what is ahead of me.

    I think the meaning of life is to experience failure at one point and learn from it. Nothing can stop you if you once failed, you can always stand back up and start a new day and be successful. That's what make life great. If you failed, it doesn't mean that your future will be bad, it will just mean that you need to try harder. Nothing can be decided right now, we will just have to wait till the time comes.

Response Post: What is Success?

     Recently, I have noticed that I will need to change my study habits in ASTI to be successful. I feel terrible about my grades and for every time I fail something or not get a A, I would think that I am not doing good enough and that I will need to better the next time to boost my grade up. I agree with what Andy Lau's blog and the thoughts that he made about success:

"Success means many things to people. To me success describes a positive result or wished-for ending through the achievement of goals. The key to success lies in hard work and perseverance. Ultimate success in life can only come from hard work."

     I agree with Andy a lot in this post and I found myself relating to his struggles. Success means a lot to me and my future. It also means that I did really well in something that I started. My sophomore year has gone really hard and I thought that I am not very successful. I am overwhelmed by stress from the hours of homework, essays, and test that I have been receiving. I don't know why, but my grades started to drop to a B and I was really struggling. I think I need some help with my work and that I should go to tutoring at my advantage. I felt very disappointing at the effort that I have been putting in and that I was not doing good enough. To change this, I think that I will have to learn to manage my time and find help.

     Success doesn't always mean getting a A. I feel that it also means improvement in the work that you did. If you put a lot of effort in something, I think that means success. If I changed my grade from a C to a B, I would think this is success because of improvement. Success doesn't mean you have to be perfect in everything, but rather how much time and effort that you have put to do something.

     I don't think I have been improving much in ASTI, and my grades are turning to B's. I am struggling greatly in PreCal, and Anatomy & Physiology, and History. Although I am having passing grades in these classes, I think that I need a lot of help in these subjects. I found out that I need a better way to study for exams or test because my test scores are bad. These habits of mines will need to change and I will have to study in my weekends and take away my free time. Organize my time in studying and find help. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the amount of test what we have for a single day. I would get confused about which subject I should study more and which I should study less. The answer is that I need to study both of them really hard until I can understand it fully.

     Success means hard work and I want to see the results to the changes I have made in my habits. I feel that to be successful, it would always mean that I have to put extra work. Success is really important to me right now and getting good grades mean greatly to me even though my parents don't care. I have to decide the future myself and how much effort that I need to put in school.
