my life as a teen

Being a teenager is so difficult. They're putting so much pressure on us. I have a mock interview next week, exactly next week at 4:20. They haven't prepared us for it.

Forget that. I might go to my old school on friday for the biggest rival game. Lawndale vs Hawthorne and I am so excited to go back and see old teachers and my old friends. I'll probably stay at lawndale because that's my home. Imma stay with my bestfriend Gigi and kick her off her bed and she can kick her brother off his bed and he'll sleep in the living room with their dog Koko. I not only have friends at Lawndale but at Hawthorne too because I'm just that popular B). Lol jk. But yeah. I can't wait to see the new building at Lawndale. I was looking forward to them finishing it since they tore down the "cafeteria" my freshman year there. I can't wait to see Marylin and Michael and Adela and all my other friends because I love them. Oh and Keenon !!!!! He's my favorite. I love keenoff. He always made me happy and although he pissed me off more than half of the time, he was always there for me.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People




Habit 1: Be Proactive 
"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

Reflection: 
I think the 7 habits of highly effective people are good habits that everyone should follow. Following the 7 habits will make your life better and easier. You always have to start with being proactive. Without being proactive, the other habits won't be easy to do. You have to think about what you want and go for it. Make it a goal.
