I’m
in my twenties and enjoy living with my parents; but I want freedom. I want to
live and go on adventures; feel independent. I already pay for my own bills and
even help my parents with theirs, so I feel I’m ready now. Anxiety runs down my
spine and my heart trembles as I prepare for this new chapter in my life. I
know I’ve been able to push myself through so many things in life and have
overcome so many challenges, but this one feels different; exhilarating. Is this
normal? Is this what some people my age went through?
I took a small break from school to find
myself, figure out where I wanted to go with my education, and focus more on
helping my family financially. As I got closer to the end of what would have been
a semester, I realized I missed school. I missed being in class listening to
lectures. I missed gaining knowledge and giving my all in class assignments.
This being my second week back in school, I am honestly enjoying obtaining
further intelligence, sitting down while reading a chapter in a book about
homophones, and trying to grasp it all in order to improve myself and further
pursue my dream of becoming a teacher.
I never knew what people called a word with a
different meaning; to me, it just meant “a word that had two different meanings.” I’m happy to be further expanding my
intelligence through this book and improving my vocabulary. To my knowledge,
there are many different ways to say a word; and with those different ways come
different meanings for those words. For example, advise is the act of giving an
opinion or suggestion, and advice is the actual opinion or suggestion given. They
sound very alike, but the meanings are very different because one is a verb and
the other is a noun. As I continue to read this book, I’ll further expand my
knowledge as I continue to learn more words and what their different meanings.
Overall, I’ll look and sound more intelligent; which I am not complaining about.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThere are several things you are addressing in your post. What you feel is true to you and there are many changes in our life daily.

ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear that you are already learning new things, and I'm very happy to read that you are reading the textbooks! That always warms a professor's heart! Don't lose the passion that you have, and you will always do well!
It is amazing the one word can change the meaning of a sentence, but to your point, also change how people could judge you, simply based on the usage of a word, either correctly, or incorrectly. Great point!!!
