The Summer 2010 Journey is still not over.

A little philosophy for you.

As I sit here at the Community College’s library, I ask myself this simple question: Did I get the most out of Summer 2010?

Aside from sleeping, eating, watching T.V. and surfing the web most of the time, I’d say I took quite a lot out of my summer.

Yes. I do regret not reading or studying more. But hey, it’s summer, so give me a break.

I’ve changed quite a lot these past weeks. Both inside and out. I look more mature, elegant, confident, and graceful. I’ve grown up by quickly stepping towards what will not be end of my childhood or teen years, but towards something rewarding- adulthood.

I’ve spent 4 days every week here on the Community College’s campus. On some days, I spend up to 8 hours in what has now become my summer getaway. The people I’ve met and the many experiences have made this summer break definitely one to remember.

I may not have read or studied as much as I should have, but I have learned lessons that are not taught in books.

I’ve learned the true meaning of diversity. There is such a place where different thoughts and ideas can all coincide together. Where one young student can sit alone at the library computer with several other students around and not make eye contact or utter a word, yet she can still feel apart of something much larger; she is simply connected by all the the energy, motivation, and experiences of others.

Though my future my seem like a fog, I can see the place where I belong and it is as clear as daylight. I have found the enjoyment of every single moment. I only look at the good and give gratitude for what works. I don’t linger what hasn’t worked or what is wrong, but what really makes the moment shine. Every past experience has made this present moment possible. The future is already written and constructed, and I’ll sit back and enjoy the ride.

Being a pro skateboarder has been a lifelong dream. I continue to dream it even though I can’t even do a simple Ollie. I’ll never let this dream die because it remains a part of me. It says something about my personality that nobody else in the world knows a clue about. I keep on trying to achieve this dream every summer. My reason for doing so? You’ve got to find something your body is unable to do, and make your body do it and even better. Practicing skateboarding has helped with other important aspects of my life which include running and perseverance.

Summer break is a journey. These past weeks, I’ve become a pro skateboarder, best friends with all the stars, and most importantly of all... I’ve become a screenwriter.
