Change... Yes I Can

About a month ago, Mr. T gave us another lecture on life. The main point of giving it to us was to help us understand what we needed to be and if it were to ever occur, when and how it would happen. Due to our study habits at the time, and for some still today, the need for a drastic change was required for us to be able to be successful both within AP Physics and life. He instructed and explained how we would know when we changed, describing it as if it was some sort of Holy Grail. The only way we would know we changed was if we woke up one day, at any point in our lives, and realized it at that moment that from thereon our life would be “different. I am glad to say that I experienced this event earlier this week. I discovered an indescribable feeling in which I knew there was something different about how I looked at life and wanted to change my own. From earlier comparisons of academic work this year, I have been what you can consider “slackin to the max.” Within the past few days, I have been improving in all of my AP classes, wanting to achieve better understandings of content and improving in my performances. I have also changed the way I am outside of school, creating better time management skills that are allowing me to accomplish many things that I would have never been able to do before. Although it is just the beginning of my “comeback,” greater evidence of improvement will become noticeable in the near future. I’d like to personally thank you, Mr. T, for helping me change my way of life to create a better and more appreciable one. I can finally achieve my goals that never seemed possible.
