Today's my fourteenth birthday. My parents took me to Benihana's to celebrate. Good choice! I ate a lot: salad, miso soup, fried rice, Chateaubriand and shrimp. I enjoyed it all.
Some months ago I finished middle school. It was an okay experience, but I know I can do better.
Next week I start high school, as a freshman. It's the start of a new phase of my life. I'm determined to have it all, at least the way I define all.
All for me is to decide what I want and then to go after it with gusto.
What do I want? To be a top student, to make the freshman baseball team and finally to have a good social life, especially with girls. Is that too much to ask?
What could get in my way? One thing I have to deal with aggressively is self-confidence. Without it, I'm lost. With it, I can accomplish anything.
But how do I get it? Ah, there's the rub.
Ahh, if we could re-do our lives?
