My Accomplishments

Life is just so great right now. Life is worth living and I'm very proud of myself. Lately, my supposed friends walked away from me, but it doesn't bother me, since I found better caring people. I also learned to play more songs on the piano. I am truly enthusiastic about the piano. M goal is to learn at least 10 songs. So far without messing up, I learned three new songs. I also decided something new, to play the alto saxophone. Currently, I joined the marching band, just for fun. I know my fingering movements and my scales. Now I just need to learn a few songs like Star Spangle Banner. I enjoy music, and I want to follow that path lateer in life. I see music as a hobby, not a career. A few months ago around January, I wrote in my journal, to aim for the straight A's. Today is parent conferrence, and I just can't wait to show my parents my straight A's progress report. It took time to get rid of all the negativity to get to this point. I found the right people, and I put my best efforts in my work everytime I sat on my chair everyday. As a result, my major goal became a reality. Now I just need to mantain the A's until the last report card for this semester.

''Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often."

Peter Vidmar

Mr. Vidmar himself used this as a motivation to himself. In my opinion the quote itself is motivating and empowering to never give up, because our goals take time to come. If you sacrifice a certain thing right now, it just won't feel right. Everything has its time, and I think that's what he means. When Vidmar says write your main goal, and you'll see it often means, that you have your goal planned out. Each time you see your goal, (often) it gets you one step closer and closer. Sacrifing what you want sounds to hard and will make things more complicated. Everything will feel rushed. However if you have this certain plan to gain some goal, it will be seen by you plenty of times. You'll feel more motivated to achieve your goal if you write it down and set up a plan. I feel like someone who desperately wants to achieve a certain goal, I'd show them this quote. In life we don't get what we want in the exact moment we wanted to be. People become frustrated or turn out to quit when they force themselves so much. Those are the people that need a certain plan, to obtain that goal.
