No Need to Fail when Success is Offered Every Day
Well for starters i enjoy long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners, and riding into the sunset on horse back.
OKAY rewind.
This is NOT E harmony there's no need to create a whole flippen love profile. (note i do love me a purdy horse.)
I'm Brianna, a Sophomore in high school at Wapsie Valley High School in Iowa. The largest town EVER holding around 1,500 people. WOH. I know crazy right?
I think that doing well in school is important as well as almost necessary. But why spend all that time working and studying and end up having a job you absolutely hate because it pays well. YOU SHOULDN'T.
Test scores are important: but they aren't everything.
Teachers always preach about how tough it's going to be once you get out of high school and how you need to be preparing for it now and in some cases that's true, but where is the excitement in that? Where's the hey, I'm just going to go out and do my thing. Where's the - I have no clue what I'm doing with my life but who cares, I've got time.
Life doesn't need to be full of passes or fails, A's of F's, life is about learning from your mistakes and moving on.
I, in a way, feel bad for those people who stress out about ONE test they got a C on. These are going to be the type of people who get into a crazy expensive college, get an amazing job, and make tons of money.
But wait. Why do i feel bad for them?
Because a lot of people like this hate there jobs. They hate waking up in the morning and going to work. And i honestly don't want to end up like a robot just going through the motions.
Education is important don't get me wrong but why do it and be miserable?
BUT ENOUGH OF MY USELESS RAMBLING.
I love speech, volleyball, track, being constantly sarcastic, and traveling.
I also love to read. It's like living a second life. WOW CHEESY - but it's all i could come up with.
I'm also a horrendous speelar (<-- HA. get it?) ;)
OH! I almost forgot. I love to travel. Traveling is my ultimate passion.
From the first time i saw the ocean i knew that i had found something amazing. There is SO much world out there it would be a waster of life to not see it all.
I made this decision after i went on a cruise with my family. I saw and talked to so many different people from so many different walks of life it was insane. Culture is everywhere and I think so many Americans are sheltered, and by traveling we can eliminate that.
Places i would love to travel are: Greece, Nicaragua, Africa, Australia, France, Germany, Mongolia, Russia, Alaska, China, Italy, and many many more. Traveling makes me happy, so why not! :)
If you want to know more about me or have any questions feel free to contact me! :)

Life is something to be enjoyed. Do the things you want while you're able to walk with out a cane.
P.S. I also hope to volunteer in the Peace Corps
