I Want To Be a Better Me by Olivia

I Want To Be a Better Me by Olivia - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

I never make new year resolutions because the amount of times I’ve tried and never succeeded is to much; which I bet many people can agree. Yet, this year I made a few which I am considering goals, not resolutions because goals are able to be “checked off.” I made them off of being reasonable and a few things I am dedicated to currently in my life. Get on Dean’s List and go to the gym to become a better me.

I have never been an “amazing” student. I would consider myself average. This is okay with me because I can strive to be better. This semester in school, I want to strive to get on Dean’s List. Which also lets me strive more for the upcoming semesters to get a 4.0. I was so close to getting on it this last semester that I am even more dedicated to my goal. I want to study more hours, take better notes, and take advantage of the tutoring at my school.

I have always been a very athletic person, never having to worry if I was “healthy” or not. I knew I was. Coming to college took a turn in my athletics because I wasn’t fortunate enough to continue my sports. Lately, I have been learning proper eating habits and proper exercises. I feel more confident in my abilities at the gym to get back to the version of me I was.

I believe I will achi9eve and I will become a better me in 2016.
