Welcome to my brand new blog, The Rocky Safari!
As it stands, I’m a senior in high school and I am currently one week into my second semester of college because I’m participating in a dual enrollment program through my local community college. It’s a great program because next year when I go to college, I’ll have some credits under my belt. My high school doesn’t have AP classes, so this is the next best thing. In fact, I’d actually argue it’s even better than AP classes because these are actual college courses that I’m earning credits for.
This a unique program and since I’m enrolled full-time at the college, I don’t take even a single class at my high school this year.
I feel like that’s not something most high school seniors get to say, so that’s pretty cool, right?
So far, with one semester down, everything has been going well.
I’m taking Calculus three days a week, and Marketing, English Composition II, and Yoga all two days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Calculus is killing me. For some people, math just clicks. For me, while it’s not necessarily a weakness, I have to work hard to fully grasp the concepts. I somehow managed to get an 89.9 in Precalc (They couldn’t just round it up for whatever reason…) and so I’m hoping I can manage at least a B in Calculus!
Marketing seems like a fun and interesting class to take. I’m fascinated by consumer behavior and am looking forward to learning the psychological reasons behind the principles of marketing.
English Composition II is one of those classes you have to take. I have no opinion on it, to be honest.
And I saved the best for last: yoga!
I can not handle how fantastic yoga is. For instance, today our instructor had us chanting ancient scriptures while contorting our bodies into the shapes of the Indian Gods. She had us breathe like whales (like in Finding Nemo) and she called it ujjayi breathing. And it’s funny because she’ll be in the middle of giving very slow basic instructions and then all of sudden, she’ll casually and quickly add in, “Ok now reach the cornerstone of the sole of your foot and position it upon your nose while squaring your hips and reaching one leg out to the universe behind you.” and you pretty much just hear everyone struggle and collapse onto the floor. We laugh though- and make the best of it!
Hoping my second college semester proves to be even better than my first!
As I embark on this blogging journey, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for what the future holds. There’s something incredibly thrilling about sharing my thoughts, experiences, and stories with the world. I’ve always found writing to be a powerful outlet for expression, and now, through this blog, I hope to connect with readers who share similar interests and passions.
Starting this blog is a significant milestone for me. It represents a new chapter in my life where I can document my adventures, reflect on my personal growth, and explore topics that fascinate me. I have so many ideas buzzing in my head – from travel stories and life lessons to tips and insights on various subjects. The possibilities are endless, and I’m eager to dive in and see where this journey takes me.
I’ve heard that most bloggers quit early on, often within the first year. It’s a sobering statistic, and it makes me even more determined to persevere. I understand that maintaining a blog requires commitment, creativity, and resilience. There will be challenges along the way – writer’s block, fluctuating readership, and the constant need to generate fresh content. But I’m ready to face these challenges head-on because I believe in the value of what I’m creating.
Blogging is not just about writing; it’s about building a community. I’m excited about the prospect of engaging with readers, receiving feedback, and fostering meaningful discussions. Your comments, thoughts, and shared experiences will enrich this blog and help it evolve. I hope to create a space where we can all learn from each other and grow together.
Another aspect of blogging that excites me is the opportunity for self-discovery. Writing regularly will push me to reflect on my experiences, articulate my thoughts clearly, and refine my voice. It’s a journey of personal development that I’m eager to embark on. Each post will be a step towards becoming a better writer, a more thoughtful individual, and hopefully, a source of inspiration for others.
Looking ahead, I’m filled with hope and optimism. I dream of this blog growing and flourishing, reaching readers far and wide. I envision it becoming a repository of valuable content, a source of joy and knowledge for those who visit. I’m excited to see how it evolves over time, adapting to new trends and incorporating feedback from my readers.
Let’s see how this goes! My dream is to keep this blog alive and thriving for years to come. I hope this post is still online 10 years from now, serving as a testament to the beginning of a wonderful adventure. Imagine looking back a decade from now, reminiscing about this moment when it all started. The thought fills me with both nostalgia and excitement for the future.
To everyone who’s reading this – thank you for being here at the start of this journey. Your support means the world to me. I’m committed to creating content that resonates with you and adds value to your life. Here’s to many more posts, countless shared stories, and a vibrant community of readers and writers.
Stay tuned, stay engaged, and let’s embark on this incredible journey together. The best is yet to come, and I can’t wait to share it with you all. Thank you for being a part of this adventure, and here’s to the future of this blog!
