Optimistic. Writing is not my strongest suit but I know I’ll be dedicated throughout this course to ensure I improve. Being an online student and peer makes learning feel strangely lonely.  Though I enjoy learning from the comfort of my home it was a challenge staying concentrated. I caught myself getting distracted by my phone, food, and my comfy bed. I’ve already taken appropriate measures to prevent that from happening but it’s still one of my worries.  Besides worrying and overthinking about being an upcoming college freshman, this summer I worked and worked.  I’m hoping to continue balancing work and school this semester.

Attached below is a recent image of a collaborative painting between my friends and I. The conversation we had whilst painting makes it even more special!
