NOT_Afraid_to_DREAM

I really want to go to law school after graduating(hoepfully :0) from Carleton University with a Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Managment with a major in Human Rights. Then I plan on working really hard all summer to repay most or all of my OSAP dept and then spend a year teaching english abroad in Greece or Netherlands. Then I want to go to Osgoode for the joint program with NYU. This goal has been years in the making, but it will be a few years until I am at law school, 6 to be percise.

Less than half a year left and I will be done with public education , having the time of my life at senior prom and then spending a summer getting all the partying and laziness out of my system working at K and city camps. Then its hopefully off to Ottawa to live away from home for the first time EVER and study at Carleton University in the Faculty of Public Affairs. I am so excited, Ottawa is my biggest goal right now and I am so driven to get there. I will do almost anything to pay for school and live my dream of studying in ottawa. I might be a little obsessed though, I have pictures of parliament, ottawa and carleton scrolling on my desktop. I am just so driven right now, it feels like for once everythign is finally comign together.

My plans to make the dream of going to carleton a reality:
Study my butt off to get 90% by the end of February
Apply for the prestige scholarship
Apply for OSAP
Join MAC
Start a Me to We Chapter in my highschool(if anyone is one and would be willing to give me some help or information that would be greatly appreciated)
Take extra courses to get a job in ottawa
Do an amazing job on Model UN
Get published
Do more at home and show even more responsibility
Live at the library
Not buy anything so that i can afford to go to carleton
Pick up any extra shifts at work
be the best I can be at work so that they give me more shifts

Currently I work 9.5 hours a week, but I plan on adding more for the next session

Mondays-4-7:30-3.5 Hours
Thursdays-4-7:30
Friday-4-7:30
Saturday-8-12
Sunday-6am-12
Total Hours-23.5 hours/week!!

Then all summer I’ll work 60 hours per week and hopefully will be able to afford first year tuition and residence.

I want to go to carleton sooo badly.
AIDD, that is my motto
Ambition
Intensity
Drive
Determination
If you have all of those things you can get where you want to be.

Goood luck to everyone!
we can do this!!

Well the last report card definetly did not say 90% but rather a decent 81.5% however there were two courses that brought my mark down considerably. I have decided that this is my year though, 90% will get me where I want to go, all I have to do is work hard now to achieve it! I am taking interesting courses where they are done sort of through corespondance, where you work at your own pace, I plan or working very hard and pushing ahead now so that I can have more spares and time off. This will mean that come exam time I will only go to school every other day giving me tonnes of time to study. So here is the deal, I need to gain 9.5% by the middle of february. To apply for scholarships.

I need to gain
Philosophy-6% for a mark of 94
Business-8% for a mark of 94
Challenge and Change-2% for a mark of 96
English-4% for a mark of 91
Earth and Space-20%! for a mark of 85
Exercise Science-15% for a mark of 87
Family Studies-^Possibility-96
This results in a total average of 91.16%

So I know this is hard but I am going to try my absolute best and work harder than i have ever worked before.
