Wonder Day 6.23.15

I suppose I would just like to be a wiser, kinder, better person. I can't say I'm entirely content with who I am. I want to become my friend's strength, but I don't know how. I want to be less selfish and I want to understand things. Being who I am, I am constantly relying on others and I hate that. I want to become a reliable person who can house other people's emotions and foster good relationships. I'm scared because I feel like I may perpetually be this small, dependent person, completely ignorant of the world. And I'm scared I will never be able to help my friend who I care for so much.  - high school student, Florida

I decided to follow what I wanted to do for college instead of what my family wanted. My mother and grandparents had certain ideas about where I should go and what I should do, but I chose to go where I wanted and where. I felt the deepest sense of contentment. This has allowed me to become excited by my future and has let me see that I can start making my own choices as I enter adulthood. It has allowed me to follow my heart and stand on my own, even when it's an unpopular choice. I have never been happier or more excited than I am now.

A personal change I would like to make in my life is: I would like to get better grades. I think I would achieve this by trying harder to focus when I study and plan things ahead of time. I would also like to be more reliable as a person and a friend. I would like to have a better relationship with my family. I would also like to be happy with the person I am and recognize my strong suits. I could achieve this by being more confident in myself and my decisions and try to communicate with my friends and family. By making these changes, I can live a happier life and be more confident in myself. I would also like to not rely on other people and be more independent. - high school student, Florida

I separated my saucer section and flew off on my own (with a little help from friends).
