A lot has changed from my freshman year of high school to now, my first trimester of my senior year. My career choices have changed, as well as my appearance and group of friends. I am now in my second year of early college, and have changed my career choice a few times. When I was a freshman I was convinced I wanted to be a marine biologist, until my first year of early college (11th grade) when I developed an interest in business. High school has been interesting, but I am very excited to see where my future takes me.
Note to myself 1 year from now: I hope all the hard work paid off, and I hope I am content with my college choice, and experience so far. I'm sure I've made some great friends and had some great times so far. Keep up the good work. 5 years from now: I should be close to finishing up my major. I assume I've built some fantastic relationships and I hope I've formed into a responsible and successful adult that both my parents and I can be proud of.

When I first heard about the attack in Paris, I was devastated. Innocent people being killed is never an easy thing to disregard, I'm sure many were outraged by this news, but anger was not my first feeling, mine was sympathy for both the victims and their families. When asked how to handle a situation like this, an answer is hard to come up with. Some may say to attack back, but I truly don't see what that is solving, it is just putting more innocent people in danger. Some little fears I have are of sharks, and bears which I may, hopefully never come in contract with. But there are some fears that I am not too sure how to handle, I'm very scared of my future. Being in control of whatever I want to do in life is a scary thing as well as the risk for failure. I'm thankful for the support I have and every time I think of my future i try to stay optimistic.
With thanksgiving coming up many people are thinking about all the things they are thankful for. Although there are plenty of things I am thankful for I'd have to say this year my mom and dad, close friends, and teachers/professors are the ones id like to thank the most. With all the stress of senior year and planning for college my friends and family have been so supportive and I don't know what I would do without them. It may be strange for a student to say they are thankful for teachers but with everything I have going on I consider myself lucky to have such helpful and understanding staff by my side.
I found the article "Apologizing by Text Is Different From Saying Sorry in Person" very interesting. It's a given that this generation is way too connected to their phones, but I don't think people understand the effects of it. If you were upset over something would you really want a text from someone saying "im sorry"? I know when I am a hundred percent sorry about something I've done, texting the apology is the last thing id do. Even a simple phone call so they could hear me say it is considered better in my book, but id still prefer to say an apology, as well as receive one, in person. The article talks about how technology is interfering with empathy skills and how to deal with empathy and I could not agree more.
