Journal Entry: April Rose Seiber-09/07/2024

Journal Entry

Today is 9/07/24 and I have decided to make my first journal entry. I have been working on the Preparing for Success course and I have started writing 1,000 word essays a day. My goal is to become a better writer. I struggle with my self-esteem, but I have always been confident that I have a gift when it comes to words. I know I have been avoiding this gift for a long time. After losing my friend, fiancee and her daughter last year I stopped writing for a long time. Yet, I know that with practice I will be able to reach a lot of people and share my story. I have also realized that my set of values I used to have did not align with the type of life I want to live. I find it to be crazy I have never even realized this. And I wonder why I kept repeating the same mistakes over and over. I know because of my past a lot of people will doubt me. Usually this makes me lose hope. This time I am going to use it to motivate me. I want to be a success story that will inspire others. I want to contribute to society instead of taking from it. I know it’s not too late and I hope if anyone ever reads this entry that know that today is the day you can start making a difference. No matter how small it may be.
