“If you’re motivated, then you’ll get things done”

Kathleen always knows what to say to me. Always. 

She’s right. If am truly as motivated as I say I am or want to be, then I need to stop bitching and quit worrying about my failure but rather focus on what I can achieve. I mean, I’ve always wanted the opportunity to be on the same level as my friends; to multitask and juggle between schoolwork, social life, and other priorities. Here’s my chance. 

My pledge class wants to nominate me as their president. I accept. Although I am not fully confident in my abilities to take lead of 53 other people while handling my own personal endeavors, there’s something inside of me that is resonating with the the hopeful potential that I can lead these people and myself on the road of success. 

I need to stop over thinking this. I always over think open opportunities that are meant for me, scare myself, and then back out. But not this time. This is the semester of change and success - I expect to change and succeed in all affiliations that I have, whether it’s academia, my fraternity, family, friends, or whatever else I am bound to. 

The only way to succeed in a winning fashion is to have a winning mentality. What other grand, opportune moment has presented itself to me in college? None. This is it, and even though it’s a big commitment, I’m ready. I won’t allow myself to fall behing.
