alcohol

Alcohol is something that is very dangerous and can ruin a person's life. I don't even believe in casual drinking for fun or with friends because if you need something to allow you to have fun, then there is obviously something wrong. I like remembering my life and I don't see the point in drinking and then waking up the next morning and telling everyone that I just had the most amazing weekend that I can't even remember. I really don't think that telling my children that I spent my college years drinking it up is something I'm excited about.This is merely my opinion and I don't expect anyone to take my advice or criticize me for it because its only what is in my head. I know that there are some people who have some serious problems with alcohol and that need serious help.I think that people often turn to alcohol to fill in a hole in their hearts or in their lives that isnt being filled with what they need. I know it can be a horrible thing and my own father struggled with it, but I know that people are capable of getting past it with the right support and will power.

Things I Want to Accomplish

There are quite a few things that come to mind when I think of what I want to accomplish at APU. From my first few weeks of college, I have realized that I really need to make sure that I'm studying what I want to do for the rest of my life. So while I'm here at APU I want to make sure that I study what it is that I have a passion for. I also want to succeed as a student. I want to make sure that when I graduate from here, I can be able to say that I did the very best I could do. I don't want to have any regrets or things that I wish I had done better. Lastly, I want to ensure that I stay true to myself; that I do what is best for me because it is my future. Not to say that I can't take advice, but that I make decisions that may not always be the most convinient but for the best.

I am positive that my strengths can help me achieve the goals above. In particular, the dicipline and focus strengths can get me to where I want to go. As long as I am determined and have the will power. Dicipline and focus will also help me as a student. They will keep me on track and help me to not get off the path that will take me somewhere in life.
