I struggle with school, I am not going to lie. I have had my share of failures throughout my first year here at Georgetown. I’ve asked myself plenty of times if I am good enough to be here. It is hard being in a place where you look around, and everyone is crazy smart and is always working hard towards their goals. I think what helped me realize that I can do anything I put my mind towards, is the fact that I started trusting myself. I started believing in myself again, causing me to find more success in everything. Also, I realized that if something doesn’t go my way, life will go on. I just have to make sure that I learn and look forward to the next assignment, so I can do better the next go around. Looking forward to the future is important in the concept of optimism. When you look forward to the future, you realize that you have more to live for, so you do things that will take you to that goal you have later in your life.
