Initial Letter

Junior year for most is the most dreaded year, I’ve decided to not follow most and take on

a different mindset for this year. I was rather disappointed in myself last year as I didn’t take

school as seriously as a should. I’m very excited to utilize this year to prove to myself that I can

be the student I want myself to be.

This summer I’ve felt lost, almost as if I was a different person. At core camp, I realized

what caused this unknown change in myself. Over Covid and after I stopped thinking about my

long-term goals and happiness and rather focused on the short-term “live in the moment”.

There’s nothing wrong with living in the moment but I’ve realized that the future always seems

to find its way to you and so does the sadness it brings along. I know I need to adjust this

mindset into one where I focus on getting the work done soon and have it done well so I can

have ease of mind for the future. Whether that’s for the next report card coming, but also ease of

mind for my future self years down the road.

I came into these first few days of school with such a positive attitude and mindset

towards school that it has made every class very enjoyable for me. I’m going to try my best to

keep this mindset moving forward into the school year to make it my most successful and fun

year yet.
