Hello my name is Paul Reynolds;
you may remember me as the black male who was sleeping in your class. I would
like to start off by apologizing for that. (I made some poor decisions the
night before and woke up with a massive hangover needless to say). However it
is no excuse for my actions, I do not intend on that happening again. I first
enrolled in this class when I read the reviews because it seemed like an easy
A. Although it still does, my actual
intentions are to come to class and be very engaged with the material because
it honestly deeply interests me. The reason why is I have struggled with who I
am, and who I want to become for as long as I remember. However that day after
class I took some time (after I sobered up) to reevaluate the quality of
my life, and what I was doing to change it. I also looked at my rash decision-making,
and how often it has gotten me in trouble. I found that I have been
consistently wasting potential and taking the easy road out. I feel as if I was
living life with the hopes that things would be handed to me on a silver platter.
That night I realized that nothing has been handed to me at all, and I've
worked to get everything I have. However I feel as if it’s not enough, I have
only done the bare minimum for myself. So my new plan is to start thinking more
open minded, and create far-fetched goals and work to achieve them. These new
intentions of mines, plus the added help of this course I am confident that I
can end this semester as a whole new me, with a whole new outlook on life.
