First Two Weeks

The first two weeks of school have been stressful and busy for me. For one, I have begun studying for the ACT, so my home work load has increased. I have started to wade through the never-ending pool of scholarships, searching for ones to aid in my college life. Due to the fact that I have been taking advanced classes, my work load has increased. Between my academic life and my home life, it is tough for me to go a day without a headache. I know, though, that it will be worth it in the long run. So, instead of lowering my expectations, I increase them. By doing this, I do more things that will help me in the future.

Introduction

My name is Brandi Trenier, and I am a 16 year old junior at Ben C. Rain High School. I love to read and write; I have done both ever since I was little. I am in the National Honor Society, Future Business Leaders of America, and soon to be in Culturama.

This school year, I yearn to push myself to my limit. I desire to do my very best in all of my subjects and to absorb the material taught. I want to take another step out of my comfort zone and into the life that I will live in when I can sustain myself. Making my family proud, to let them know that I appreciate everything they've done for me, is my goal.

Though I have many goals for myself, I have goals for helping others too. I want to fully complete, at the least, thirty or more hours of community service. I want to make a change, for the better, to the lives of others in any way that I can. I want to become a better person, and I'm determined to do it right.
