ALL WE HAVE TO DECIDE IS WHAT TO DO WITH THE TIME GIVEN TO US.

JrR TOLKIEN

I appreciate this quote because it reminds me of how simple life can be and how much we tend to overcomplicate things. This quote also reminds me that I have a future and that just because I failed one small test I shouldn’t worry that much because I still have a future. The quote makes me feel like I need to have more control over my life as I feel like I’m just going along with popular belief and not choosing what I want to say.

Hobbies

I enjoy lots of different hobbies and I like to value my time. I normally end up spending a lot of time drawing and painting things I like and value. Most of the time when I’m painting, I like to paint landscapes and nature. I rarely paint people since I am not very good and struggle at it, but it is good to try to challenge myself sometimes when I do. I also like to do things like sewing but I haven’t found any time to do it recently, but I still enjoy it.

Achievements

So far, I haven’t won any actual awards, but I found myself reflecting on lots of personal achievements. In year 5 at all saint’s college, we had to participate in something called the $2 project where we had to start a business from $2. I went out and decided I was going to sell succulents. I am a quiet person and going up to people to sell them a product was a huge achievement for me. In the following year, we had to do public speaking. I again struggled but the fact that I managed to get through it was another success. While I was public speaking I realize that it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be so that gave me more confidence the next time I did it.
