Assessing Ourselves
since earlier this year, January, i feel that i have changed a lot. i have learned more about myself and the real world in the past few months then i ever have the rest of my entire life combined. there are things and people that i thought i knew and had figured out that have as of recently constantly suprised me. there are plenty of things that i have had to overcome this past year be it loss of a loved one or just a hard time in life. i had some of the best times ive ever had so far in my life this past year. but on the other hand i also had some of the lowest of lows and bad times in my life. i think that i have grown and changed alot but mainly in a good way because i have been through so much. between me and all of my friends and all of our problems that we all bravely or idioticly face together i have been through just about every situation that i can think of imaginable and i think im stronger for that. im a better person because of the experiences that i have been through. my whole life i have always heard that change is inevitable and now looking back i can see that that saying is exactlly true. you cannot help but change, or go with the flow. it happens and we cant stop or prevent it. the only thing that we can do is take it as it comes and learn from your mistakes and better yourself with each passing day. just so far in my college life i can tell that i have changed in many ways. my body has grown bigger stronger and faster. i am learning alot through school but learning alot about myself and the real world as well. and best of all is the fact that i am now so much closer to everyone that i hold near and dear to my heart. everytime i see my family and especially my friends it means alot more to me than before. so change will happen and it is obvious to me that my personallity has changed in many ways. the person that i now see in the mirror is a far cry from the boy that i was looking at this time a year ago. more mature in every sense of the word. ready and waiting to take on life and all of its many challenges.
