Lost and Found

 I was looking through some of the New Zealand students’ blogs and I found I post that really got me thinking.

Which Is More Lasting: Lost or Found?

I thought about this for a long while, and commented the kid back.  So I decided I would expand on my original thoughts.

I’m still unsure which is more lasting: lost or found.  I’m still “riding the fence.” Once you lose something, it can be found just as easily as it is to lose again.  But time heals everything whether someone close to you passes away or an item is lost.  Even a memory or thought will soon fade.  If you lose someone, sure it will last forever because that person is never coming back but eventually the pain with subside.  If you find something, you will have it forever and have it close to your heart and memory.  It’s a hard decision to make, but someday you might have to.

My Greatest Dream

What are the greatest obstacles to the fulfillment of my dreams and goals?

My greatest dream right now at this very moment is to get into a Prepatory High School such as Choate or Deerfield Academy.  I want to go because I believe that I should test my own limits and challenge myself.  Thus, I do anything it takes to succeed at attending a school that will get me into a great college.  There are a few problems with getting what I want.

The first is my intelligence.  I think that I am smart enough to score high on the SSAT (test to get into a private school) and be accepted into a school of my choice, but of course my perspectives can be something entirely different than that of the Dean of Admissions.  I would also have to prove myself as a good enough ‘character’ at an interview with an Admissions Interviewer.

The biggest obstacle would be financial.  My family isn’t exactly filthy rich so I wouldn’t be able to buy my way into a school, not that I would want to.  I would want to earn everything but even if I did and I didn’t get a scholarship, I wouldn’t be able to go because college tuition is more important than high school tuition to my family.
