School was educational, interesting, fun, hilarious, time consuming, hard, easy, dumb, friendly, unfriendly, dislikeful, well teached, flexible, strict, free, and if anything else... weirdly the most bitter sweet school year ever. My teachers were awesome. My friends were awesome. My family was supporting. But man was the freshman year incredibly difficult. There were times when I wanted to stop and just let this one paper be a zero. Boy did I pay for those. I learned that procrastination can kill you and that even though your throat hurts, you need to come to school. I learned that at the end (now) for exemptions. From now on, even if I broke my neck, take me in my bed to my classroom because I won't miss and have to do an insane amount of make-up work. Hahaha I learned that if you say one bad thing to a coach, it takes a while to regane loyalty and trust from him and that you have to work hard to do that. Being a freshman was fun................... that's it.

Take 2...
Jakeb, I like your quote. I have to add though, that I think sheer will and determination will out do power any day of the week.
You are finishing your freshman year well. It has been an experience, hasn't it?! Enjoy your summer but get ready for next year. You will most assuredly need lots of will and determination to do well your sophomore year or I'll "break your neck". :)
Love ya',
Mom
I think that getting the job done can be catagorized into all the determination and will and whatever it takes. I think he's just talking about if you can work hard to do what you want to do in life.
