"Success depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character". This quote was said by Arnold Palmer. I like this quote because some people have certain standers on how a person has to be. However, in reality everyone has their own meaning of success. Just because there's a general meaning does not mean that the meaning has to be your definition. Success can stretch far and mean many different things, rather the thing you are successful at be big or small. Everyone is their own person, everyone has different characteristics and a different thought process. That doesn't mean that you're wrong or aren't successful it just means that you have different goals, different expectations for yourself and that is more than okay. It's sad that people fall into stereotypes and believe that everything has to be a certain way, but in reality success is success, as long as you reached your personal goal that's what matters.
My favorite part of summer is getting to sleep in and not having the stress from school. My family doesn't have any traditions really, we did for the most part do Sunday family dinners. Sunday family dinner is usually just immediate family, it's just a way for all of us to catch up after a busy week. We sometimes do it throughout the whole year not just over summer. We didn't have any family reunions but I did have an uncle visit from Florida and then another one of my uncles and cousin visited from Illinois. I babysat a lot over summer, almost at least everyday. Mostly my two nephews and then a baby for a friend of the family. My favorite memory would be when I went and stayed with my aunt and uncle for a few days. I got to babysit my four little cousins for 2 days and that was nice because I haven't seen them in almost a year. The only other big thing I did was went to my brothers wedding which was on my birthday. Overall I had a pretty relaxing summer.
School can be a hard time for a good majority of people. Especially in the beginning of the year with new classes, new teachers, and new focus points. The main goal is to keep your focus, don't waste your time on things that won't help you get to where you have your goal set to be. Try to keep people around you with a positive impact, be around the least amount of negativity in your life that is possible. My goal for the winter trimester is to put m main focus on school, whether it be with homework or school activities. I don't want all the negativity, or do I need it. Senior year is a very important year and no matter how much work it is my main focus needs to be directed on school. Sometimes it can be difficult to focus, whether it it is from family or friends,. However the quote "wherever focus goes, energy flows" means to me that you should do your best to put your energy into what will benefit you the most in the future.
