This week was phenomenal, honestly. With the weather giving us a (brief) break, I was finally able to get myself out of the house. I was both honored and excited when Destry and I went to pick out his first longboard, for a multitude of reasons. Firstly because I finally have someone as hype about it as me, so that's cool. But also because I'm confident it'll be beneficial to both of our mental as well as physical health. Unfortunately it's a bit rainy and grey today, but it's been a very good time of reflection for me. I spent my second hour discussing various life experiences with our substitute teacher, and it was very eye opening. I genuinely enjoy learning, in general, yes, but more specifically I enjoy learning about the different perspectives and opinions people develop and hold, as well as why they feel the ways that they do. It's truly astonishing, the things that we humans put each other through. But just as amazing is the things we accomplish when we put our efforts together. As mentioned in my previous posts, I'm very confident that, as the trimester winds down, I will accomplish my grade goal. I'm so close to having all A's for the first time in my educational career. I know I mention it a lot. Honestly, my friends are sick of hearing me talk about it. But nobody quite understands how much that means to me. Up until this point in my life I was never given the opportunity to find out my true potential. And now that things, to most other 17 year olds, are essentially harder than ever, I'm succeeding with flying colors. I now have to worry about rent and clothing and food and water, things that most kids have taken care of. But I'm completely okay with that challenge solely because I'm surrounded by positive, nontoxic, supportive individuals. I dunno. It just baffles me.
