When people look at me, I can tell they see an artist, some dude holding their sketchbook constantly, probably looking silly because they keep staring at someone to draw that person’s nose correctly. I’m 40% artist, 40% gamer, 18% wolf enthusiast, and 2% cat hair. My name is Duncan, and I’m a freshman at Foothill Highschool (AND I have over 400 followers on Tumblr.) If you ever need my assistance, just press up up down down left right left right B A, and I’ll come running.

I have several goals academically for my freshman year and beyond. Well, sort of. I feel as if most of the academic goals don’t apply to me! But I thought about it and I guess I do have some goals to write down on this paper, even though the things I want to do in life have little to do with what I’m learning currently. (I don’t need to know about Algebra to play video games!) What I can do is take it one step at a time and hope for the best. As for goals with my friends, I can’t think of any at first. Keeping all of them is an easy task, and it’s my decision on how close I want to be with them. I don’t have very many in the first place, so I’ll list the ones I want to hang out more often. Carolina, who is very artagenic (I know that’s not a word, but now it is, think like photogenic except with art) and Taylor, who I share a locker with in dance.

Goals with my family include learning how to fry food and spending more time with my sister. It does not include improving my attitude around here, because it doesn’t require improvement! It’s much different when you’re the younger child, I suppose. My family is also not associated with most of my personal goals other than wanting to learn basic cooking.

My academic goals include learning how to animate and improving my writing style. Everything else is not a goal as I am confident that I can complete all of it. With my vision problems (mostly) relieved, I will be able to complete any task the teachers throw at me. (Bring it on, Mr. Geib! I’ll slay any essay with a single pencil!) I would like to learn about recording equipment as well, if I want to create a “Let’s Play!” series.

About my physical goals, well… Since I was homeschooled last year, I have been so physically unfit. My family pushed me to take dance, and I thought it would be fun, so I agreed with some hesitance. It turned out to be very difficult, but that cost wasn’t as bad when I had that much fun. It feels great because I’ll feel good if I do a good job, while with schoolwork, I mostly feel tired and/or relieved. (Also am I getting abs? No? Not yet. Maybe one day soon.)

I haven’t thought of a conclusion yet. Just… give me like a few years and I’ll get back to you. But, real talk, I hope you enjoyed this I guess? I feel as if I did a good job on it. I hope I did it right. Yes. I’ll get an A in no time.
