Self-Reflection

        My name is Jorge Cosme, I am currently in my second year of college. I am majoring in natural sciences with a concentration in nutrition and dietetics, I also work as a personal trainer to pay for my college expenses. So I am going to talk you about myself, not about what I do but about who I am. Since i was young i was fascinated with science and knowledge I loved learning about things and how they worked. I guess that thirst for learning has shaped my whole life. when you have this thing for learning about how stuff works life becomes very interesting but also very terrifying you know. your personality becomes affected by how much you learn, you begin full of energy and positive outlook but as you start to understands thing it all becomes kind of sad. Its kind of a paradox you start knowing nothing and full of excitement and as you progress you start getting the other way around knowing a lot but not exited at all. But you see knowledge is a tool and as every tool you can have it but you need to know how to use it correctly so that you can feel in control, otherwise the tool will control you. So I am currently in my way of mastering my mind and the knowledge in it so I can use it to my favor.

      I have started this empowerment process because I like to be in control, and being in control of myself is important if i want to be in control of my surroundings. I often find myself thinking about my future and how i want it to be. All the time I spend thinking about my future could be a product of how much i want to be successful. Sometimes its fun to think about you re future, thinking about the job you will have or what kind of relationships will be present in you're life. It also can be very frustrating thinking that you could end up in a place were you did not wanted to be having a job that you don't like, being unhappy and those things. I find that thinking about my future its either very good or very bad. Either I get motivated to do something or unmotivated. And again this is a tool and I often find myself training to master it so it can only be used for good.

       I have been told that I am an overachiever. Because for me its never "good enough" it is always "it could have been better". I blame this characteristic trait of me on my parents which always told me to be the best and to one of my most influential figures in my life, my eleventh grade math teacher, which with whom i developed a very good relationship while everybody else avoided him or criticized him for being to harsh on us. But I don't blame him he is a great teacher and a great remodel. For now that's all I got to say for you today, Until the next one.
