Trying to light my spark

For the new term I really need to light my spark completely. I'm not talking about making it shine a little brighter, I'm saying start from scratch to come to my full potential and staying full speed ahead until the final bell rings on the last day of school. How do I plan on accomplishing such a process? Good question.

1. Come alive with those around me. Show people who I really am, even if they don't except me.

2. STUDY,STUDY,STUDY! I can't remember the last time I had a full night of note taking, reading, and quizzing myself for an upcoming test. I'm sure if I actually did, test scores and comprehension would come a lot easier for me.

3.Don't procrastinate! I'm THE QUEEN of this. It's my weakness and biggest flaw. I need to turn my minds setting from "Do it later" to "Let's do it now".

4. Go the extra mile, even if I'm out of gas. This sort of goes with everything in my life. Homework, studying, communication, friends, and family. I tend to back out, or take shortcuts through just about everything. I thirst for the actual satisfaction of completing something successfully.

5. Create BRAND NEW friends. Since the probability of me going to Murray High next year is extremely low, I hope to find the genuine people of Hillcrest, and stay in touch with them.

6. Schedule and Balance my days. Find the happy medium between my weekly episode of Teen Mom and the hardcore math assignment due the next day.

7. Write EVERYTHNG. Write about my day, what's bugging me, what made my day, things to get done, EVERYTHING.

8. Do things that make me happy. I'm not one for sports or musical instruments, but weights are lifted off my shoulders when I get a good laugh, hang out with friends, watch my favorite movies, or get lost in a good book.

I didn't quite make it to ten, but there you have it folks. I better get started.
