Commitments for the 2011-2012 School Year
I’m no stranger to making goals for myself - for the past two years, I’ve been writing and revising my short-term goals in a journal every six months (I know, nerdy, whatever).
But this school year is going to be a special one. Last year I was still reeling from the move. I was plagued by self-doubt, a non-existent self-esteem, with a nice lil dose of self-hatred in there as well. In some ways, I was more self-critical than I’d ever been in the past.
But this year’s going to be different. I have friends. I know what I’m doing. Everything is going to be so much easier because I know what’s going on. Here are some of the things I’m looking to accomplish this year:
- No more inner “I hate myself” monologues
- No more rejection of friendships just because I’m too nervous to talk
- Seriously work on that nervous talking thing
- Work on becoming more comfortable; i.e. get to know the teacher, make friends, be nice
- Don’t be an annoying douche. Ever.
- Don’t panic as much. Work on not panicking.
As far as being active goes, I think I did well enough last year. October trip, Public Speaking, MUN, Romania. Now I’ll just do that all again and with all my experience, maybe this time it’ll all better.
