<p>I woke hard so I can get accepted to a good college which will lead me to a successful career where I’ll make a great salary to provide for my family and pay for my white picket fence enclosed house in suburbia and manage my 3 cars and family vacations to the Hamptons. My American dream!</p>
<p>To take myself to higher places, and deserve it. Actually, I don’t deserve anything. Climbing for a higher platform to disperse if only an ounce of the hope I’ve been so abundantly blessed with</p>
<p>Because, I know that one day I’ll be at the top, and I couldn’t be more welcome to take it. After all my hard work.</p>
<p>1.My family
2.Dream schools(Harvard,Princeton,and Stanford)
3.A fun high paying job
4. And school in general I find it fun</p>
<p>I want to do well because even though I am not a complete perfectionist, I am hard on myself when I know I have not done as well as I could have. I also want to do well for myself, my mom is neurotic and gets at me, and I want to go to a college I am completely satisfied with.</p>
<p>anyone else? this thread is nice to read when i’m feeling especially lazy :p</p>
<p>Because I hate all of the f**<em>ing d</em>cks at my school who think they’re so much better than me just because I’m a girl. I’m going to get that coveted (at least at my school) 4.0 and whoop their sorry little asses at graduation.</p>
<p>Bitter? Mhmmm.</p>
<p>For some reason I thought you said ****ing ducks.</p>
<p>I’m really only motivated if I generally want to learn the information. At the beginning of this year, I loved all my classes (finally a senior, no math/science classes, three languages, woohoo!), but by now they’re getting really tiring. AP US Government is the WORST because everyone in that class is a moron. The teacher is very nice and funny, but I hate his teaching style. It moves so slowly! We don’t ever relate what we learn in class to current events (discussing the freedom of the press as the whole WikiLeaks thing is going on and it’s not brought up at all?!). The class is a total joke. I have it second period, so every day I tell my friend in third period the stupid thing of the day that happened in Gov (teacher: Who was the bill of rights written for? Student: The king! | Tecaher: Ashley, can you define [term on powerpoint behind him] Ashley: Umm… I don’t know.)</p>
<p>I don’t really have a capacity to slack off. Maybe I just care too much about “letting people down” or whatever, but I have a hard time settling for anything less than my best. I don’t know if I’d really call it perfectionism, though.</p>
<p>Recently I have been somewhat motivated by my future. It’s been a nice change of pace.</p>
<p>the goal of getting into nyu. if for some reason i found out i didnt qualify i would literally stop going</p>
<p>I want to make a difference in the world and education is gonna let me do that.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt. That is all.</p>
<p>very, very admirable :)</p>
<p>NASA makes me work hard in school. Make it or Break it!!!</p>
<p>hard work in high scthool -> better college -> better job -> more opportunities to work up the corporate ladder-> probably A LOT more money -> much better life</p>
<p>I want people to know I’m better than they are.</p>
<p>not that I’m a bad, antisocial person, nor am delusional about being the best in the world, it’s just my competitive drive to be the very best coming from my crappy, borderline-rural school. Because, I don’t want to be an alcoholic and work at a diner the rest of my life! and being average at high school would result in an average life, thus resulting in the aforementioned. and, i want to GO PLACES in life and be a big deal in the future (not necessarily $$$, but doing things that the future generations from my family would be proud of)</p>
<p>In many ways, i consider myself a good role-model =D</p>
<p>Nothing does anymore…ahhhhh Senioritis is hitting me hard!!</p>
<p>I don’t know why, but writing in cursive is fun… I have just recently started writing in cursive last week and to my surprise, it makes everything more enjoyable… Now that still does not help with math.</p>
<p>God damn second semester senior… On Monday I simultaneously wanted to cry and kill everything. Not so psychotic now, but summer/college can not come quickly enough.</p>
<p>When I was younger I was motivated to do well in school by the need for approval from an authority figure. Now I’m acutely aware of that and have become critical of those feelings, I don’t think that they’re the main motivation in my schooling anymore, instead I’ve gotten genuinely interested in learning. So I read a lot. Which is thankfully keeping me afloat; I haven’t been too consistent with homework crap lately. Haha I won’t even be going to graduation, too much in the future. So, yup. College. Needs to come.</p>
