To most people I may seem boring and cold, but I’m really not at all. I like to laugh and crack jokes. Last year, my parents would say, I cracked a few too many. I need to “focus” on school they say. So, this upcoming year I plan to stay focused and develop a stronger work ethic. So far in high school I have “squeaked” by in many classes only because of a 99% grade on a final. With a tough junior year already under way, I would love to reach finals week with no stress about grades. That would be a success in my book.
This summer I got a job. It was awful. Horrible. It made me want to rip my eyeballs out of their sockets. I was “chief filer” at my dad’s office. File after file after file of medical records went through my hands every day and into one of three double-sided, spinning, industrial-sized cabinets of boringness. It’s not that the tasks were difficult, they weren’t, they were monotonous. I took away a couple of lessons from this experience. 1) I’m never doing that again, ever. 2) Sometimes you have to do things you don’t like. It’s about how you do them that matters (with a good attitude or an attitude that says: “I hate this.”).
