All over again

The first week of my fall 2012 semester I was excited. All of the new faces, used book smells and fresh paper to write on. Entering the book store everyone seemed exited to purchase their soon to be belongings every time. The employees looked as they felt they enjoyed their jobs helping one another as they kept their smiles on.

Walking into your first class is a foot tickler not knowing what to expect from each of my Instructors, yet I lived for these upcoming days. Thinking of gaining my study momentum again was hard, but I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who can have trouble in that area. I feel if I am having a wonderful time in and out of school hours, then the people around me should. It's beautiful seeing smiles even when less expected, especially in the mornings on the bus.

It's amazing when people introduce themselves with a passionate or humorous side to them, it arouses my enthusiasm. when I get the chance to introduce myself in front of class, I try to be warm so people could get comfy with seeing me every class day, though it shouldnt be any problem. I love the fact that all if my instructors are open about their teaching as well as us getting to know them throughout our semester together. I'm excited to get to experience more.

Not that my outlook has always been this way, it has gotten wider alot after graduating, and my first semester at NOVA. The experiences that brought me in such moments in life are the ways I've observed things within family ties, and their doings. My relationships; my current, with my bestfriend, and my with younger sister showed me certain paths I was able to take.

Occupying relationships all at once can be a hassle, sometimes you must take it one step at a time. The same time my mother has told me a lot more than I perceived, and I think that was a burden until one day. Meaning to say, I rather be told what could be done than what should be done. The struggles were my max opponents which made me face me myself and I. Not sure if they can be recalled, but I know there is way more competition with myself to come. I'm not a stressful person, but I tend to think "a whole lot" if a situation is bothersome.

I believe the way students should combat negativity isn't by blocking it out, rather figuring out why your face to face with it and weaving out the disadvantages to better advantages to take at hand and at a new pace.

  1. You really do have a positive outlook. Has it always been this way? What experiences brought you to this place in life? And how do you handle those difficult times, or struggles? I think positivity is great...but maybe you could also help students combat negativity, which isn't always the same thing, right?
