I wish I had done it differently

When I was in Elementary and Middle school, I didn't have friends. I didn't have the social life that most kids had. My free time was spent with my parents, and my siblings. I admit that I got picked on, and most of the time I came home crying. But my grades were never bad. I actually did really good in school up until High School (Ninth Grade). I was so sick of not fitting in, that when I got to High School; i made myself fit in. I stopped caring what my teachers were saying to me. I started sitting in the back of class and talking over everybody. My grades dropped, but I wasn't thinking of the consequences. All I thought of was "Wow, I have a good relationship with everyone". So by my senior year, when everyone was sending out college applications and figuring out what they were going to do with their life, I was still sitting in the back of the class glad that I had a lot of friends and talked to everyone. Even if they were only acquaintances I still felt happy with myself.

And now that I am going to be turning twenty-one in November. I wish I could have done things differently. I could possibly be doing something or working towards something that I actually want to do. Don't get me wrong, I love being in Cosmetology school. But I don't see myself doing this for the rest of my life. It could take me to a lot of places, but I know that I would much rather be a veterinarian like I had planned out in 7th grade. I don't know. Maybe my life will work its self out soon or later. I am happy with the way things are going, because things could be a lot worse. But I also know, that they could be a lot better. <3
