Motivations

For some classes I am motivated and for others I am not. I really enjoy English/ Social studies class but I am really not a fan of math or of chemistry. It doesnt really click with me and I have a bit of difficulty with it. I take the class merely because I have to and I am motivated solely by getting an A or sometimes just maintaining a B. I would really like to go to the University of Berkeley for college and I recognize that grades are necessary for admission to some of the more presitgious universities. I also wish to debate for either Berkeley, Michigan or Northwestern in college but a pre requisite to achieving that goal is receiving decent grades and excelling on standardized tests. For English. Social Studies and Debate I am motivated. I enjoy writing and thinking outside fo the box. I hate being constrained to the realm of a correct answer. Life isnt about one correct answer. It is about getting from point A to point B and enjoying the ride. there is an infinite amount of possibilities for how to get from point A to point B. Another motivation for chemistry that I recognize is that I can grow as an individual. I am not a fan of the topic, however, new modes of thought are necessary to grow as a person and as an intellectual. Like it or not I choose to make the best out of school and try to find new wholesome motivations isolated from my selfish objectives.
