This year I came full circle in so many ways. I started babysitting for some ladies who babysat me as a kid, I got a job teaching the same swim lessons I took when I was little, and I aced all the courses I thought I was too dumb to take. For the first time I realized that I had become the girl I envied as a kid. I had become the babysitter, the swim instructor, and the student I saw working on her computer at Panera. Two things finally dawned on me: the first, that I need not worry so much about my life, because things are turning out fine, and two, that I am the example I followed as a kid, and I have a responsibility to positively influence those around me.
This may seem overly sentimental, even sappy for a seventeen-year-old to be writing, but I beleive it's never too early to start trying to make a difference in the world. This coming year, I have several goals I will atempt to acheive to further make my mark:
1.) Prepare to take the Certified Healthcare Interpreter (Spanish) test so that I can work as an interpreter in the healthcare setting.
2.) Pass the AP Bio and AP Chem exams.
3.) Make swimming fun for all my kids at the Y
