In college, you’ll learn that self-awareness is a critical skill in your success. Just when you think you’ve gotten everything off your chest, along comes the next problem you have to face.
So I knew I had to get in touch with my inner self here, but I was a little worried. The last time I was on a college campus, I was trying to get my life in order, not get a good grade in my classes. So I took a deep breath, and sat down to write my story.
This is a common tactic. In college youll go on a lot of campus visits to get to know your fellow students. It’s also common to get lost in your own thoughts and emotions, and to fall into the habit of analyzing everything you do. After all, the next thing you might do is write an essay about why youre doing what you are doing.
But, as I mentioned in the intro, youll find that a lot of college students will also write an essay about everything they do. Its a common habit, but it can actually be dangerous. For one thing, it can be a way of self- analysis. A lot of students try to evaluate themselves by comparing themselves to other people they know. It can also be a way of thinking that can lead to you developing a self-image based on how you compare to others.
The problem is that when you judge your own worth, you begin to judge others. Which is a problem because that’s just what people do. That’s why we have all these rules at colleges, saying “don’t judge your own students.” That’s a pretty big deal because you’re not just making judgments about other people, you’re making judgment about your own worth.
Thats why the idea of “quitting” your college before graduation is so absurd. It can be the only thing, or most of the time, that you realize how incredibly worthless you are. Because your college is something that you are afraid to leave, you have to do everything you can to make sure that you get as far as possible on your degree. Which is what happens when you try to compare yourself to others.
The most common mistakes parents make on the internet are: You should probably be writing about your life with a different perspective, like a different perspective on a different topic. You should be making a good point about why your life is so different from others, and why it’s so valuable. You should also be making some good points about why your life should be different from others, and why it should be valuable.
What we’re doing here is creating a website to show you how you’ve done your homework and to use as a starting point for your learning. We will discuss this in more detail in Chapter 2.
You might think that by showing you your academic or career goals that you can inspire you to do better and become a better person. So you’re going to create a website that will show you the way to become a better person. We’re going to look at this in more detail in Chapter 2.
This is important. You need to understand what you want to achieve before you make any decisions about how to achieve it. You have to have some idea of what is important to you and what isn’t. You also need to understand the goal of each stage in your life, and how you intend to achieve it.
