"Apple Music" -Wednesday- 10/9/19

I didn't have school today, which was good, and it's a rainy week so far, which is even better. It calls for a cool meal, watching college acceptance reaction videos, and just snuggling up tight in a warm, fuzzy blanket. But that's not what I did today...kind of. Funny enough, I didn't realize the value of time and its essence until the summer of my current junior year. Probably even funnier, I didn't realize the value of "free" time until I was prioritizing my goals for this year and for the following years. When I'm talking about "goals set", I'm not talking about writing about things you want to accomplish and then leaving them off to the side collecting dust, no. I'm talking about goals that you set, that if you don't achieve them, you'll be so so upset. Goals that you can't live without trying or live without achieving. Goals that fire off something inside of you, that you just have to complete and work your hardest. Those are the type of goals I set for myself over the summer, and now these days, there's always something that I have to be working on. I probably already listed these goals, and they might be getting a little repetitive, but repetitiveness is key in completion. 

GOALS:

• Score a 1490 or higher on the SAT. (How? Studying every single day. If the schedule is tight, I'll still try to find a way to study for it, whether that be for 30 mins or 3 hours. A little bit of something is important for a big enough something at the end.)
• Volunteer at the Liberty Science Center. (Goal is partially complete. I did an interview last week, we'll see the results soon.)
• Build up my resume around the interest of medicine and science. (How? I always try and look for free cost opportunities to enhance my knowledge of these subjects. IE. The LSC volunteer will help me with that greatly. Or even applying to scholar based programs around science.)
• Volunteer at the Hospital of Special Surgery. (This is huge. This is the hospital that I want to obtain a position at. This will definitely ameliorate myself. Come spring time, this should be achieved.)
• Win some medals at HOSA competitions. (I should've done this a long time ago, but better late than never. Medical Terminology + Pathophysiology, need to study for that.)
• Score around benchmark level for ACT, MATH II, and BIO E/M subject tests. (This will come later, after I try and achieve the first goal.)
• Do good in school. (Top 3 ranked, that's top 5% already, just need to maintain that, and my high school transcript is golden.)

Teaching kids at church, as one of my volunteer occupations:

Okay, but other than that, I still live a content life. I'm still a happy teenager. That might sound like a lot, but it's the most I could do. Scratch that, I could always be doing more, but I'm satisfied with my goals for right now. We'll see if there's more when that's all completed. It was a rainy week as mentioned before, and that's more than perfect enough time to get things done inside. I have school again tomorrow, and I'll just see where God takes it from there. I have to transfer all these 400 songs from my Spotify to Apple music, because that expired. That might take a hour, so that's it for now.
