Overall Goals

A brief list of important goals I hope to achieve throughout my high school career. They effect me in a variety of ways socially and personally.

+Improve my overall GPA
For years, my sister and mother would always lecture me to get better grades. Ever since the 4th grade, my grades have been slipping and I've been constantly holding it against myself. I've only noticed after my failure to attend 8th grade graduation (1.6 gpa) that it's been effecting me tremendously. I'm currently considered as a below average student (being only in geometry and biology) and it's holding me back from going into classes I'd enjoy in the future such as AP physics and AP environmental science. Procrastination is driving me nuts. This is something I seriously need to do in order to become successful.

+Learn as many foreign languages as possible.
At first, I wanted to become an artist. I had a couple of things in mind such as an industrial designer, illustrator, game artist, etc. Then I noticed that I'm not going so far with it so I thought of another passion of mine: astronomy. Being so fascinated with our expanding universe drew me into wanting to be an astronomer or physist.

Due to my grades and ingenious mind, I dropped it.

I want to learn foreign languages. I may not be a prodigy, but I catch on fast and I'm determined. People may think it's just a waste of time or ridiculous, but it's not. There's multiple ways to communicate, but the most important is spoken words. Each language has some kind of connection to each other no matter how different they are; it's art. Being a language specialist can be such a great experience and I'm looking forward to it. Since I'm only 15, my thoughts may change in the future, but I'm willing to take my chances.
Currently, I'm learning French, (trying)German and Japanese.

+Save approximately 75% of earnings, allowances, etc.
I don't know how to manage money. I buy junk. I lend others too much money.

I waste money.

I'm in high school. I don't know what's going to really happen to me once I graduate and my mother can't support me as much as my sister when she graduated. I honestly can't depend on getting a scholarship either. So, I want to cut 75% of any money I recieve and lock it up.

+Expand my mind.
Read more. Write more.
What other way could I possibly do it?
It's been done for centuries.
