I'm doing 36 things
So yeah, it’s great I became more involved in high school, but now that I’m in college I have to continue to do the same thing. Living off-campus isn’t very convinient though…I’m sure I would be a lot more active in school activities if I lived near the school. I’m not sure if this is just an excuse to bail out though…

How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: Throughout my earlier years in high school, I wasn't very involved in school; from 9-11th grade all I had completed was 79 hours of community service and been inducted into the National Honor Society. Once I got into my senior year, I realized what I had wasn't enough, especially if I expected to go to my first choice university. So, I joined many clubs (Science NHS, Beta Club, Drama club, Robotics club) and… Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy
How I did it: Once I realized how important the SAT/ACT was in order for me to get into college, I studied for it, and didn't put it off as "just another test." I only studied for about two weeks, and it paid off. Just a little studying can make the difference, and it's such a relief when you have it all done. Read how I did it…

The more I think about the idea of moving out, the more it scares me. As much as I don’t like to admit it, I am way to dependent on my mom, and I feel that the only way to break that is to move out, at least for a school year just to get a feel. I am so close to my little sister and my mom, and I feel like I am the one who protects them. If I leave, I will feel like I’m deserting them, or that something will happen to them. At the same time, I know I have to do this for me. I know that my mom will have a fit when she finds out I want to move out next year, she always finds some excuse (“oh, you’re not ready to live on your own”) but I think she does that because she is dependent on me too. The crazy thing is, my school is only 20 minutes away, it wouldn’t be like I would be moving to another state, or even city for that matter.
I just need to take the initiative and sign that lease without hesitation and without second thoughts. If i want to take control of my life, it needs to be done.
Wow…it’s been a while since I’ve updated this. But I finally got a camcorder! Technically, it’s my sister’s (she got it for her birthday) but we share everything. i’ve been coming up with an idea for a film, but i hope I will have the strength to complete it as I’m thinking of making a documentary about a search for my father. There’s a lot that goes into something like that (emotionally) and I’m not sure if I’m ready for it. But, I have nothing to lose
