I have made many improvements and changes to my behavior and thinking process throughout my stay here at the Academy at Ivy Ridge.  Even though I have made a complete 180 degrees turn around I still have many issues I need to work on and I will be working how to better myself and my entire life.  I still need to work on communication and control.  Sometimes when I talk to others I tell them what to do and interfere with their plans when I should just let people do what the are doing as long as it is working.  Of course if I see someone making a bad non-working decision I will not let them bring themselves or myself down.  Sometimes I get to controlling.  Also, I tend to react when I am talking to a person and I do not respond.  To work on this I need to think more before I act and think about what I say before I say it.

The things that I still need to work on are my attitude, the way I come off when I am angry especially my bitterness because when I am bitter, I get sarcastic and stuff.  That is not working for me cause I need to just learn to step left and move on because I tend to just stay stuck and don’t even like to think about what I’m saying or how I might be hurting people.  Also I need to work on getting so mad at my mom so much because I know she loves me and she only is doing what she thinks is right.  But I know that I am definally thankful for everything, yet I need to work on not really being inconsiderate when I’m in the moment.
