Practice Entry.

Hi, my name is Andrea, but i go by Andi, i am nineteen years old, and trust me, i have been through a lot. I love to play sports, but hate watching them. Soccer is my favorite sport, and playing it is the most amazing feeling ever! I have been playing soccer since i was 4. When i was little i was put into almost every sport out there, and soccer just seemed to stick. I was offered a few scholarships for soccer, but I made a few bad choices that helped me lose that scholarship and fast.


I am a recovering addict. I am not proud of the choices i made, but i am very thankful for where it took me in life.
                                                
 With drugs, comes death. I have had a few friends die young and that has made me thankful for life. I used to take everything for granted: life, friends, family, material objects. But the past 4 years has taught me a lot. Lets see, life... I used to think "life" what is it? What is the purpose? We will all die someday, right? But in reality everyday is a gift, a day to conquer, a day to help someone new. Friend is a very strong word to use. Who in your life is really your "friend." A friend to me is someone who is there for you, a person that wants to see you do good in life, they want to see you succeed and will be there to help you. Family is the most important thing in the world. They are by your side at every moment, whether you are doing good or bad they love you. You should never turn on your family. Last is material objects. i have learned you don't need to have a big screen TV, the newest model cell phone, and a fancy laptop. None of that matters, it wont make you happy in life.


I am taking English 101 as a prerequisite, i am not to sure what i am going into as far as "future" goes. I wanted to go somewhere in the medical field, but as you see above, i screwed up that dream.
By attending GCC i hope to find something i want to do with my life. I want to make a difference!
