My Second Statement Of Purpose

My original goal was to write about threading. I have not been writing about it once after we started blogging. I guess that means that I should pick a goal that does not involve just one topic. After looking over my blog, I noticed that I have been writing about lots of different topics. I don’t like how I write or what I write about though. My writing seems so boring to me. I have a hard time trying to find something to write about each week, so the best I can do is write about my week and make it at least 300 words and I'm done.
So here is my new goal in writing: I want my writing to look more professional. When someone looks at it, I want them to think that I know what I'm talking about.
My first goal in general is that I want to stop procrastinating. because of procrastination, I have been doing really bad in school lately. I have an F in Spanish for this quarter. It all came down to a notebook check, and I had literally nothing on mines. I had about 13 things in it out of 60 things. I know, how great. It was all because I always thought I had time to do them so I was never worried. I wasn't worried until the last day of the quarter where my teacher asked us to leave our notebook with her, I was horrified. When I got it back, I was really afraid to to check the grade. But I guess I kind of deserved that grade because of how I never actually did anything in that class.
My second goal is that I want to stop thinking in such a negative way about myself. I know everyone says this and Other people think it's not that big a deal. But to me, it is a huge deal because whatever I do I don't think I'm good enough. Most people would be like, "then why don't you try harder?" If I'm not good enough for something, I give up on it. I stop caring about it. This is what happened with most of my work. All my classes, I think it's too hard so I wont even try, or I think that I'm not good enough to make something or play some kind of sport, so I wont even try it at all.

  1. I'm really sorry to hear about this confidence issue you're facing. There's no need for it! You're a perfectly intelligent young woman--take a couple risks! You'll surprise yourself.

    On a different topic--if you're interested in writing about it, I'd love to hear about your impressions of Nepal. Don't worry about it if you don't feel like writing about that, but I've been trying to learn a little something about your country recently, and so I thought I'd ask...
