Hannah's assumptions (blog #2)

While I am learning many important skills and qualities at LSSA essential to success in college,  this experience has forced me to reevaluate my assumptions on my own personallity.  It is safe to say that almost anyone at this camp would agree that I am outgoing with a bubbly and friendly persona, but this is the exact opposite of how I act in most situations like this.  Ever since I was very little I was catergorized as the shy girl who would always cry at music concerts, and never answer a question or read in class because of sheer terror.  After I entered high school I became more outgoing, but quiet would have still been my perfect descripter.  I have always wanted to come to this college making this the reason I desperatly wanted to come to LSSA this summer, to invertigate TLU and see if it was truly the college of my dreams.  Something about being thousands of miles away from home has allowed me to open up out of my shell and excel from normal expectations.  This experience has allowed me to break out of the box I was unaware I was trapped in, but there is also one more life lesson it has taught me.  If you truly love where you are and what you are doing that passion will push a person to work hard and improve much more then if someone is forced into a situation.  I enjoy (to some extent) the work we receive, and even though I wish we had more time to complete it, push myself to work hard and gain from this experience.
