Journaling reads: The majority of my high school years were spent pursuing a very specific single goal. All the courses I chose and so many of my extra-curricular activities were geared toward the making of a future Air Force officer. I spent so much time and effort for one dream that I didn't leave myself with many alternatives. I was a good student - I made honor role repeatedly and graduated with high honors. I was a good softball player - I was voted as the most valuable offensive player for my team during my senior year and was chosen as first string center field for the Colorado All-State tournament. I was a good leader - I was the commander of my CAP squadron, president of my church youth group, and a representative of my high school at Girl's State. I thought I was doing all these things in order to make myself well-rounded. But I was actually doing all these activities in order to make myself attractive to the one school I wanted to get into. And guess what, I didn't get into it. Oh sure, I had a backup plan that I never thought I would need; I would go to a local university and apply again the following year to the university I really wanted to attend - the university that had already rejected me once. So when the time actually came for me to head off to university, I was moving to a university that I had no real knowledge of and absolutely no desire to attend. And I hated every minute I was there.If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely do it differently. What do they say, hindsight is 20-20? I would apply to other universities with similar aerospace engineering programs. I would apply for scholarships – with my grades and school record I could have gotten into a number of good schools on a scholarship. I would also consider entirely other routes and studies as well. I would tell that 17-year-old girl to get ready for one of the biggest heartbreaks of her life - and that the best way to get ready would be to have more than just one alternative. I would tell her to not be so narrow-minded and that it would actually be smarter to diversify even more. I would absolutely tell her to loosen up! I would open my eyes and tell myself to see a larger world and pursue it, instead of just one small portion. I would tell myself to prepare a Plan B just as wonderful and adventurous. Thanks so much for looking!
