A girl in my class truly inspired me today

November 13th, 2006 at 03:01 pm

I was in my last class of the day, our teacher asked us to plan our schedule for college as a pratice to learn how to be realistic and use our time well but it's impossible to get the way we want because most of the times, they choose for us.

I looked at my friends schedule and one girl in particular is planning to take the pure science programme next year and works about twenty or more hours after school and on weekends. I asked her if it's a little too much and she said no, not for now because now, she works more than thirty hours a week and makes about 300$/ week... She still managed to finish her homework and get good marks. What surprise me the most is that she's not even tired at all because she got used to it for a year already. Her plan for the future is to buy a house at 23, I was truly fascinated by her goal... She's 17 and she already have about 6 000$- 7 000$ already!! Woah... I admired that woman, she manages to take extra math course at night. I am really motivate to finish my homework and study hard to get good grade. Hey, if she can work more than thirty hours a week and manage to get really good marks in class, plus, she joined a book club than I can do it too!! I mean, I won't work thirty hours a week because I know very well that I'm not capable like her, join extra course and stop being lazy like I am now... lol... But she inspired me to do my homework and study hard no matter what the circumstance is.

I should go study now.

Oh yeah, I got 10.75$ back from a friend today because I bought the "Macbett" book for her last Friday to get our 10% in English for the second term and for our oral in a few weeks, I'm going to put it in my challenge money.

216 $ + 10$ + 2$ (wake up early) = 228$

The 0.75$, I'm going to put it in my piggy bank.

    I think I'M feeling inspired too! hehe. Of course, I do work 30 hours a week. I dont have that much saved up, though, and there's no way I would have been able to save like that in high school. Kudos to both you and her! Starting at your age is the way to go, and most of us didn't realize that until we had all too much responsibility to deal with!

    It's amazing how much you can get done in a day. It just depends if you really want to do it.

    I have to give mad props to that girl for already saving so much while still in High School. I was dumb. I blew all my money on Taco Bell and CDs.

    That sounds wonderful!

    I wish I was financially motivated when I was young. Stick Out Tongue
