=Keeping up with Reality=

Every year I set the same expectations up for myself, and every year I accomplish to not accomplish them. Maybe I overestimate myself, or maybe I am just too lazy, and maybe I should set goals that I can actually accomplish. Something //__realistic__//. At the beginning of this school year, I repeated the process all over again. Get straight A’s in all my classes, get 100 hours of community service done in 6 months, and practice the piano regularly. It didn't take long to realize that this was not going to happen. The pressure of AP classes combined with the pressures of the SAT became too much, and I realized that there was no way I could accomplish what I wanted to. So after 6 years of repeating this process, I've decided to learn from my mistakes. Finally, it took long enough.
