Fears And Obstacles

Part 1: Journal

Expand upon your list of fears, assets, and obstacles.  Write a three paragraph journal that focuses on identifying these aspects of yourself, how they are affecting you, and what you can do with them to move forward on your journey.  Elaborate on why these obstacles are there, if you can control them, and what ways can you healthily process fears and anxieties.  Be sure to include images.  

I have a huge fear of failing in school and not making anything out of myself. I grew up in a huge family that all went to big universities, and being the only one to be going to community college is tough. Growing up I was always reminded that I shouldn't go to a community college. And having siblings that have gone to universities and constantly being compared to is not fun. I always viewed community college as something bad, because I was taught that throughout my life. 

When the time came that I was applying to community college I was depressed I had a lot of anxiety because I didn't know what to expect next. I felt like I let my family down, they had so much high expectations that I was affected negatively. As the semester went by my family still loved me just as much as before. And I only view this as a step in my journey.

I can't control my obstacles but I've learned that life has its up and downs. However I am able to make my lows feel better by doing the things I love like playing a sport or working out because it distracts me from whats bothering me. And I plan try to get through this obstacle and the only thing between me and my goal it time.
