Although I am just a teenager, I feel as though I have a fairly good idea of what I want to accomplish in life. I want to move to New York, go to school for neuropsychology, and possibly even own my own handmade jewelry shop. I know that teenagers tend to create a reality of things they want to accomplish but then never follow through with their plans, but I’m different. I’ve been told since I can remember that I have persistence like no other which leads me to accomplishing whatever I set my mind to. For example, in 6th grade I decided I wanted to play football in highschool (as a girl this is not very common) and 3 years later I followed through with my plans and I am now on the team. For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to visit New York but more recently seeing more and more videos and pictures, I decided I want more than just to visit. Part of me wants to stay close to family but another part of me feels like the whole point of growing up is finding out who you are and I’m not sure I can do that where I currently am. I have only recently gotten interested in neuropsychology but I have always loved the process of the mind. Incase you don’t know what neuropsychology is, it is based around the different processes the brain and nervous system do and how they influence someone’s cognitive and physical behaviors. Over the summer I took a college psychology course which only made me more interested in the topic. I want my own jewelry shop because recently jewelry has become overpriced just as I am getting more interested in it. I have learned new ways to make rings like making them out of spoons or with beads and wire. Or using the tab of a soda can to make a heart necklace. I just think it would be fun to make jewelry that I enjoy and other people do as well. Also, a backup plan I have is something to do with writing. I don’t know exactly what but I really like writing no matter the form. Most teenagers dread writing essays, but I like them and tend to finish them in about 45 minutes; still getting an A on my work. I can always find something to write so maybe I’ll write a book, I’m not sure. Only time will tell how my life will pan out. Hopefully this story will be updated after I accomplish everything on my list. I know I have the ability to achieve everything, it’s just a matter of time until I do.
