Wow, I REALLY haven’t posted in a while.
College. AGGHH. We’ve all thought about it haven’t we? Even if you haven't, I have, and it's been
bugging me a lot lately. Being the
oldest of 4 siblings with a dad that complains how old he’ll be when he finally
retires is a huge factor that I’ve been thinking about. My Elite counselor thinks
I’ll be able to apply to some pretty strong UCs and be able to make them, but little
does he know that I feel obligated to factor in the idea of me being the oldest
to try to save some retirement money for my parents and some college money for
my younger siblings.
I mean, community college isn’t so bad of an idea right? You
save a LOT of money, you only have to pass your classes to get into any UC you
want after 2 years (oh, and did I mention that wherever you graduate from, it
doesn’t say anywhere on your diploma that you went to community college for two
years?), but then I guess the hardest part about choosing to walk the path of
community college is the reputation part of it. I mean, who wants a kid that
goes to community college? FAIL.
Another factor that comes in when I think about college is
my maturity level. I feel like I’m not mature enough yet to get the grades that
I’ll need if I get into a UC right away. I do NOT enjoy studying, and I’ve
basically almost never studied for a test my high school year yet, except
vocabulary tests. I mean, I TRY
to study, but it ends up never working out anyway. Going to community college would simply be a
way to help me mature (or in slang, MAN UP)
for a better college.
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
Anyone want to help me?
Any feedback would be appreciated

| Dedication to Ryan Hwang
Written by me
Some days you just wake up, never knowing what the day is going to bring. Maybe you wonder how you did on a math test, or how you're gonna talk to that girl or guy that you like, but never does losing a friend or maybe even yourself ever cross your mind. And when that day comes, you just don't know how to deal with it. Skies turn gray, tears slowly crawls it's way down your cheeks, then you say to yourself, "I didn't even get a chance to say good-bye." Then after saying that, you look up and ask God, "Why him/her, when he/she deserves so much more of the world than me?" And before He answers you, you know that he's just about to say, "It was his/her time to go." Then you realize what a great person they were, and even though it was their time to go, you wished God could've chosen you instead of them because they could've done better in the world than you. Then you lay on your bed, praying for his/her family, that they will go through the tough times with Him. And He'll just smile, look down, and say, "I was there for them yesterday, I am here today, and I will be here forever." Then you question The Creator, "Then why weren't you there for him/her when they died?" He just simply replies, "I was and still am, he's right here by my side right now, and he is experiencing true joy that the world could never offer." Then you silently sit there in your bed, wondering how your friend might look like radiating true joy, that could never be offered or found in the world. Then your eyelids get heavier and heavier, and the next thing you know...
*BUZZ* The day starts, again. | | |
