Perspectives

I had a bunch of people write about me for class and I thought I could type their comments onto my blog and respond to them. This is exactly what they wrote, I didn’t change anything.

Arsal: You are really weird and cool and you hate me and math. You really love math. I have known you since grade 4 and we haven’t talked since grade 6. We talking again in grade 9 outdoor ed. That is where we met Widmer and the rest is history!

Asna: Gavin you literally make my day! You are extremely funny and adorable. You always have a smile on your face which is hard to do all the time. I commend you. Thanks for being fab.

Madi: Gavin, hey pal. I genuinely think you are a great person with lots of interesting stories that I look forward to hearing. You are so funny and always tell the best jokes.

Cayleigh: You’re really sweet and warmhearted. You are a cute butt head with a big smile. Stay cool.

Alisha: Dear Gavin, You are friendly, you always have the enthusiasm of a small child. You may act serious, but I know deep down you are always a kid at heart. Filled with humor, you always seem to find the wicked in everything. You are a fairly good friend. Keep being deep like you are Gavin-DEEP. Truly mischievous you are.

Claire: I thought you were going to be a weird little boy and I was right. But when you’re not squirting your stupid water bottle at me, you’re a really funny guy, I love our awkward eye contact and how you wiggle your eyebrows also your nose.

Wild: Gavin, you’re a man in m life. An old man, who I know will do things in his life. Even though you can never be like Albert Einsteeno cuz you didnt take physics, but good luck.

Daania: You’re really nice, and a complete good! You’re really funny and are always making people laugh! You always have a smile on your face and it makes others want to smile. You’re a joy in the class and you’re wonderful!

Andrew: GavinDEEP! I didn’t really know you until now, but you’re a pretty cool person. Your thoughts are quite deep, keep on being you. Can’t wait to read your blogs!

First off, I want to say I really appreciate this. The fact that people can say positive comments about me makes me extremely happy, I can barely say positive things about me. I’m grateful for having friends like these, people that I can rely on and trust. I’m grateful for not being the kid I was years ago, the kid that did everything alone and didn’t know how to make friends. I’m grateful for you guys.

Narrative

I worry a lot about the future, in fact too much. I worry about what I’m going to be doing after these next 2 years. I’ve browsed endlessly for jobs that appeal to me, but nothing really jumps out. So far, all I have planned out is to go into pharmacy, but I don’t even know if I can support that idea with the grades I have right now. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to stay in one place for 8 hours almost every day helping people with their medications as a pharmacist. Most of my friends have already decided what they’re going to be pursuing and I still have no idea. Hopefully I’ll figure something out by the end of grade 11 and it won’t be something too boring. I find it so hard to study, I don’t think I’m going to be able to do well unless I completely change everything I do after school. I believe that the problem with me is that I can’t focus on one task. Something simple like reading a book is a challenge for me because I’ll hear, smell or see something that’ll grab my attention and I’ll totally forget about reading. I’ve been reviewing what I’ve learned when I come home from school to help me with this, but there aren’t many differences that I’m seeing with anything. I hope this changes for grade 12, so I can do what I want to, for the rest of my life. Another thing I worry about is university. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to get into the one I want to. I find it really stupid how the short 2 years near the end of high school decide what you’re going to be doing for the rest of university and possibly your life. I’m not a big fan of change and having to go to a different place, in a different city, meeting different people is a pain because it already took me 3 years to develop friendships with the people I know in high school. Now I have to make new friends, which will just bring out the overwhelming amount of anxiety I have. I think i’m just going to go with the flow, just do what interests me in high school then, when the time comes I’ll make the decision. All I hope is for now is to be able to create myself because we don’t learn who we are, we create ourselves, and that is what I’m going to do.
