I have done one of the most damaging things that anyone could do the their collegiate academic career, I took a year long break. I hate that I did it, but I just had so many thing going on in my life that I would not have been able to focus and was not focusing as I should have. My GPA had taken a profound drop before I left and attendance was scarce to just about every class. Between my job, the mountain of bills and everything else that was going on I was on the edge of a breakdown. I am hoping that after this year my life will have more stability and I will be better able to focus. The thing I’m going to hate most about it is that this fall all my friends will be juniors and I won’t be in school, when I go back they will all be seniors and I’ll still be fighting to secure my sophomore status. They will have long since begun their lives and I will still be trying to get mines together. Still, anything is worth having is worth fighting for and education is important to me because I do not want to be a cashier all my life. Hopefully, I won’t loose touch with my friends as they continue their life journey and I begin mines again. Hopefully, this next time around things will be different. I have learned that I can’t not anticipate a struggle, I just have to assume a sturdy positions and move forward against the obstacles because death is more of an option than failure.

That was supposed to say I want to do this. I hope it is right.
I took a couple years of Spanish in high school and I took a semester in college and failed. I am plannin to retake Spanish to remove the grade but I want to be able to pick it up as a major or at least a minor.
I really like how board and diverse all the Latin and Spanish cultures are. I hope to visit them one day and even live there.
The main thing I am trying not to do is become vain. I don’t want to be one of those self-obsessed people.
My main focus is my face. I am trying to get myself into the habit of takin care of it. Every morning I needs to scrub my face using that face scrubbin stuff with the beads in it from St. Ives and I need to wash it at night as well. Right now the most I do to it is run a rag across it quickly in the shower.
