MY GOAL

Tomorrow will be the end of the first semester, which mean my junior year have been go over half year already. This tell me that the day of decision will be coming soon. I still remember at the beginning of the school year I set up few personal goal to challenge myself. I think now is the time to check what kind of goal did I achieve.

The first goal is getting a good score on SAT/TOEFL. From the PSAT score that I took in October I found out that I still need to work more hard on it. The result I got was not really well and at first I thought I could get a better score than this, but the truth told me that I’m thinking too much. The cruelty of the real life tell me that thinking good is not enough, you will only get how much you paid. This PSAT score just like a hammer and help me to wake up, I need to stop playing that much video game and do something that is useful for my life. This is why I start to do some changes to my lifestyle. I start to memorize SAT vocabulary everyday, because I know that I’m doing pretty bad on the writing part. The main reason is because I didn't know many vocabulary, so by memorize SAT vocabulary can definitely help my writing become more vivid and interesting.

Beside the SAT goal, I also set a goal is that I want to make more friends than last year. I did a really good job on this goal because right now I have many friends whom come from all over the world. I could learn their culture from all of them, such as their dress, music, food...etc. This help me to learn more about other countries, so that I can talk with them comfortably without saying  something not appropriate in their culture and will make them angry.

One goal I didn't mention in the beginning of the school year was become more mature. In most of the people mind, they still think me as a kid and all I want is playing. This year give me a lot of challenges that I never have before, and those challenges can only bear by myself. This form an invisible pressure cause me can’t sleep well every night when I came back from winter break. Then I think now would be the time for me to become more mature. I should not keep playing that much because this year might be my most important year that I ever have. Just like my parents said “After this year when you get into a good college, you can do whatever you want!” Maybe my parents was right, I have the responsibility to not let my parents disappointed. Now is the time to prove them I could get into a college, I can get into a college that better than my brothers did. I will show them I am the best in my family!
