Update to a new school year

So it begins. A new year. A new life. A new experience. I'm happy for all the newness. I'm happy for all the good and bad things that will come. I'm especially excited to learn more life lessons this school year. I'm not going to let the pressure to succeed deter me from achieving my goals; rather, I will let it fuel me til I reach that place and space I call success.

I may not be into the party scene like many of my fellow colleagues. I may not get shit-faced every Thursday and Friday night. I may not sleep around and get sexual with whoever whenever. But, my experience is unique to me. I am hard-working, determined, focused, loving, committed, and I care about how I present myself. If I want to do the things I set out to do, I must stay focused and keep my eye on the prize. There are too many girls at my school who don't use their educational experience to its fullness because they are sitting on trust funds. God did not grant me that path. I must work for everything I want and need in this life. I intend to do this. I intend to succeed and blow everyone out of the water.
