Hi fellow bloggers, my name is Pamela Switzer and I currently reside in San Ramon. This year, my senior year, is hopefully going to be one of the best years of my life. I'm turning 18 in less than two months which has been a great eye opener for me. I have come to many conclusions about what I want to do this year, in terms of academics, work, personal, and family and friends. Considering it is my senior year, I know that I have to make every day count, because as we pass each and every day, we are one step closer to college and one step away from high school. My plans for senior year include getting fit and eat healthier, get a better spiritual understanding, better my relationship with friends and family.
This year I really hope to better myself from the inside and out. I want to work on my fitness to improve my health. After my mom graduated nursing school, she started working out again. I saw a huge difference in her body but more than that, an improvement in her happiness. I hope that when I start working out and eating healthier, I'll be able to sleep easier, be happier, and get toned! I also want to get healthy for the Maritime Academy because there is a lot of physical training involved with the major I'm applying for.
Spiritually, I want to study religions more this year. My mother is Christian and my father is Jewish, which is really interesting because both sides of my family are very religious (with the exception of my mother and father). It makes things very interesting when I visit each side because I get to go to a synagogue and a church. However, I'm not sure if I truly follow or believe in a religion, which is causing me to really introspect my beliefs. Without a concise idea of my spirituality, I feel almost lost in my identity. I want to be able to really find what I believe in to get a better understanding of who I am.
Lastly, my family and friends have always been a very important part of my life. With college right around the corner, I feel even more pressure to solidify all my relationships. Lately my father and I have had some rough times and we haven't spoken in a very long time. I would like to fix our relationship before I go to college. Its hard to fix a relationship with someone who has unstable emotions but I'm hoping that I'll gain a better understanding from his perspective in order to fix our relationship.
I hope that this year will go as great as I believe it'll be. Good luck to everyone who is working on his or her own problems or goals!
