"Beginning with the End in Mind"

ENTRY 4:

Hello everyone, it's Lylah, back with another post today. The topic is about "Beginning with the End in Mind" and it's about knowing and thinking about how you want your future to be. It's very important to think about your future right now while you're at a young age so you can end up living a nice successful life.
I think that you should think about your future right now because it's good to have that mind set of what you have planned for your future. Right now I am struggling with what kind of career I want in the future. So it's best for me to think of it now while I still have two years of high school left. To me, it's never too early to think about what you want to do after high school. The reason why I'm thinking about my future career right now is because I'm afraid that I still won't know what I want to do after I graduate. So it's always good to plan early and maybe make some changes along the way.
"YOLO" is one of my favorite sayings. I basically live by it. I think it's good to try new things while you're still young. You only live once so might as well. Now I don't mean you should go around acting a fool doing stupid stuff. I mean you should let loose sometimes and don't worry about what could happen. But of course there are some situations where "YOLO" should not be used. You also still have to be serious about you decisions. There are some times where you have to be an adult(rolls eyes). You have to think about the choices that you make and how it will affect you. So please don't go around using "YOLO" to every decision you make.
A scenario I know where a consequence happened would be that you have some friends who are having a party. You know there is going to be drugs and alcohol at this party. You're not someone who smokes or drinks so you're curious about what it's like. You know that it's bad and you know the consequences. But you decide to try it. Some neighbors are complaining about how loud the music at the party is so they call the police. The police show up and you and everyone else who are at the party get's busted. It could have ended way differently if you didn't go to the party.
My Personal Mission Statement is to work hard in school to get all A's for once. I want to get a college degree and be the first out of my family to go to college. So I have to work hard to get there. Right now I'm not doing so well with my grades and I feel like I'm not going to make it with good grade, but if I focus and get all of my stuff done then I won't have to stress about my grades anymore.
My goals in high school are basically the same as my mission statement, make all A's. I've never had all A's before. I really want to make it to college and I'm working extra hard. My long term goal is to have a successful life. Have a career that I really enjoy and I like doing.
