Everyone makes mistakes and most people that make mistakes try to later justify their mistakes until they realize the foolishness they've played. Such is life, I guess. In order to be a well-rounded person you must make mistakes. This is not news to any of you though. I have been plopped into a mistake hazard. Yes, I have been immersed in "foolery", I could've done much better if I had applied myself more. But alas, the past is done.
My future is going to hold great things, hopefully. I hope to become a journalist someday for some big newspaper, like the Chicago Tribune or the Seattle Times. I could move there and work for a while doing that job while I'm finishing my MFA degree in English/TESOL. Its really far in the future but I think with my new intuition of getting my grades back up to a 3.5 or 4.0 I might be accepted into a nice school in the West or Midwest. Loyola would be very nice. I dream that someday I would be appreciated as an ESL teacher.
When I first started looking at colleges I should have had more courage in myself. So, as Oscar Wilde once said, "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars."
