You Don't Know Me

Let's make this short shall we?

I quit the soccer team. I wasn't having fun, and last year I nearly broke down because there was too much responsibility for me to handle all at once. This year I want it to be better, so I'm de-junking my life (not to say that soccer is junk!). School is going to be really busy for me, and I didn't want anything else interfering with my 4.0 GPA goal. I need more open time in my schedule this year, and I think taking soccer out of the equation, even just for this year, will help me.

Please don't feel sorry for me. None of this, "Aw, poor Rachel, had to quit soccer,". NO! It was the right thing for me this time. And instead of trying to please other people, which I constantly do, I am going to focus my attention on pleasing myself this year. Don't worry, I'll still try to be nice to other people, but maybe I should just concentrate on making myself happy before making others happy.
