Think about the person you were five years ago. How have you changed? What have you grown out of? What remains the same? What have you learned? Think about where you would like to be five years from today. What changes will you have to make in yourself? What kind of transition do you think you will have to make? Do you have an actual plan set out, or are you just assuming that its all going to fall into place for you. How are you working towards this plan if you actually have one?

I think when i was twelve years of age I was a honors student in 6th grade at Lawton Chiles Middle school. I've change, due to me not working as hard and being lazy. I have grown out my immature ways and now becoming mature man. Nothing remains the same. I have learned many things and now trying to succeed in graduating from high school.

In five years I would like to be in the University of Tennessee Chatanooga and major in business. I would have changed by being more responsible and less lazy. The transition I may need to make is go out less and study more. I assume that my plans to go to a University are coming into place. I plan to graduate go to Miami Dade and transfer out after my associates degree to UTC.

Describe in detail, the most memorable experience you had this summer. What made it so memorable? Did it change you perspective on anything? Did you share it this experience with anyone?

The most memorable experience I had this summer was when I went to the keys to go deep sea fishing and i cought a sail fish. It was so memorable because it was my first time ever going deep fishing and I cought a monterous fish. Yes, it did change my perspectives because I though it was easy to catch a fish, but its not and is extremly hard to also hook the fish sometimes. I shared the experience with my uncle and cousin's
