Juggling

It’s just who I am. I’ve been called many things before: busy body, perfectionist, hardest worker, nerd, jock, and other things. What have I done to receive these names? I have an intense sense of passion for everything I do. And, trust me, I do more than your average person. I do so much I even scare myself sometimes. I tend to seize every opportunity and somehow gain control of it.
My life, in short, is like a juggling act. If each ball represents something I do, I could work in a circus as a juggling master. High school is tough as it is, but unlike actually juggling, I somehow manage to make time for every activity I’m interested in.

Keeping up my grades is also a top priority, not that I can rank which activity is the most important. In my book, everything I do is important. It just means I have to work a lot harder, but that has worked all my life so it isn’t a problem. The key to my success is determination.
I love everything I do. I also believe that life is short and that I should make wise use of every spare moment of my precious time. Thus, every action taken has to come from my heart and soul, because I invest every ounce of energy within me. No matter what I do, I give my all and never give up until the job is done.

What makes me proud, more than anything, is how I feel that this aspect of my personality is what people most like about me. But gaining their respect hasn’t been easy. Being nearly two years younger than my classmates was at first a disadvantage. Nevertheless, I now know that they support and respect everything I have achieved. My drive to excel in everything I do is what defines me today.
