How I did it: I was annoyed because I had wanted to sweep up a pile of leaves and jump. But it was so windy outside that the wind had already made several piles on campus. So I carefully jumped in one on a parking lot and hurt my elbow. It was worth it though, because I got rid of that goal... Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was only 182 pages, but it was halfway unbearable. I think that the story was interesting, but I don't know why people make it seem so amazing. I guess it's just a thing that I have with F. Scott Fitzgerald's work: I am rather apathetic about it. His book "This Side of Paradise" was pleasant. I think in the beginning chapters, the story is hard to get into, but it becomes easier as you progress. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I recieved a two inch maple in the month of April from my friend Erin at CIA. Now it is about 10 inches or more, with bark and more leaves. I put it in a growth chamber at school to protect it from the coming winter. I am so proud of myself. This is the first time I have successfully grown a plant. My goal is to grow it so that one day, my children can play under it. Read how I did it…

“EXERCISE”
Looked fun when Simmons did it.
I had heard of Sylvia Plath before, but her name didn’t ring a bell until my professor at CIA, Dr. Danko, mentioned it. So I put down “The Bell Jar” in my mind and on my reading list. One year later, after transferring to a new school, it was required for English class. I had always wondered what the book was about and why it was called “The Bell Jar”. I imagined a large tinkilng, yet booming gong sound when I thought of the title. It took me 4 days, but I read the book and it was excellent! The character slightly reminded me of myself and it seemed that her society was crazy, not her. Now I understand why it was worth reading. Thank you, library and English class syllabus.
The first time completed this goal, was giving thank you flowers to my two friends for their monetary gift. I tried to give my other friend flowers, but she was not at her job. So I gave them to another librarian who was fairly surprised. But the climax of my goal occurred at a beauty college. I had gotten free flowers from Connections to Success and I knew the flowers would die in my care ANYWAYS. So I passed them out to about 20 or 30 random strangers. It was so wonderful, seeing the smiles on people’s faces. It really changes a person’s day when you randomly give them flowers…
