I'm applying for a study abroad program! It's in Taiwan..I REALLY want this opportunity. I need to edit my 300w supplemental and 500w host letter today or tomorrow morning...but I believe in myself! Knowing that you can achieve whatever you put your mind to is partially what makes life so exciting--there are no limits to what you can do and who you can become.
The trees are turning the most gorgeous colors right now in the mideast! It is the perfect weather too. Every afternoon is filled with warm sun and cold breeze, and one of the highlights of my day is rolling the window down as I drive into my neighborhood.
Anyways, I studied really hard for my Iran test today. I hope I did well, but there's no use thinking about it since there's nothing I can do to change the outcome.
Also, I questioned why I had been pushing myself so hard to earn straight As throughout high school. I have an 86 in AP Comparative Government right now--and when I saw some other people's grades, I wondered why it seemed like I HAD to earn an A every quarter.
Despite being the only daughter of an Asian household, my parents don't really stress academia. I pressure myself because I don't have an excuse to not succeed; I have all of the support and resources I need to do well, so it would be odd if I didn't at least push myself a little.
My mindset has always been "just try your best.", which culminates in studying my hardest. I enjoy seeing the fruits of my hard work. it is so rewarding and the dopamine hit is like no other. In the end, I still enjoy the process of working hard and obtaining the results I want.
