Starting Highschool
Starting high school made me realize that it was time that I start taking everything serious. I no longer had time to say "oh that really won't count." Starting high school made me realize that everything I do counts and every assignment I turn in matters. -
The passing of my dad
My dad's passing really had an effect on me and made me realize that even though my dad is no longer here, I still have to keep going because he would be proud of me. The fact that he just randomly died also had a bad effect on me because now I feel like people can just up and randomly leave at any time. I also had to keep going because if I just sat around, all I knew that all I would do is cry. -
Getting my first car
Getting my first car gave me another big responsibility. It made me become more responsible and to really watch what I was doing and pay attention. I sometimes have a problem of not paying attention close enough but that's very dangerous when driving. I also have the responsibility of keeping gas in my car so I need to pay attention to my gas hand. -
Getting my first job
Getting my first job made me realize that I am getting closer and closer to becoming an adult and that I have no time to waste. I'm getting closer and closer to having my responsibilities on my own and that I have to start actually staying on top of my goals. I'm no longer a child who can just depend on my mom for every single thing and I need to make sure that I can do for myself. My mom still does things for me but thats only when I ask or want her to. -
The Birth of My Niece
Although she isn't my child, I still know that what I do and say around my niece can have an impact on how she acts. She still isn't able to fully talk, but she can say some words so I'll have to watch what I say around her because I know that she'll say what I say. She comes to my house quite a bit so I've had to change the way that I do some things because I don't want her to say even half of the things that I say.
