Becoming the man I want to be


          I feel like I have so much stuff  to do with no time at all, even though that "stuff" isn't all in front of me!!! First off life has been so crazy, trying to lose my weight at a time like this is so difficult,  I have senior project I have to finish in order to graduate, I have to pass my ACT with a decent score, keep my grades up and get all my work done in order to go to college at all, start training for tennis, and still have the time to spend with God and family! What a CRAZY schedule I have ahead of myself! Luckily I have some of the best people in my life to help me with such a wild journey. Eventually becoming like Coach K. Family man, great coach, determined, dedicated, faithful, and most of all happy!

          One of those people is obviously my mother who cooks me healthy breakfast every morning and keeps me from eating bad food. Another person is my dad who keeps me into sports and supports my tennis lessons and all those things that cost money to train! Third is my wonderful grandma Maxine and cousin Lindsay & my mom again, who keep me in my faith and remind me all the time of how important it is to keep Jesus in my life and that with keeping God the center of life surrounded around prayer, praise, and church that I can do anything in life. Another person is my language arts teacher Mrs. Bauer. I have a hard time admitting that I need help and I finally decided the only way to figure a problem out is to ask for it....so I did! Mrs. Bauer is sitting down with me helping with time management and keeping me from always saying yes to everything that comes my way. Always over scheduling myself. The last person that has been a huge impact on me lately is Mrs. Purin. I don't care about anything says about that woman because without her things could be different today. She helped me so much and I couldn't thank that woman enough for everything she has done!

          The reason I write about this today is because after praying today I believe the lord has told me that the only way to move forward is to forget about the past. Let it go! The only way that I can get better grades, faith, weight loss, etc. is to not worry about what I did wrong in the past, but rather pick myself up and move on and keep myself positive and motivated. That's why today I make the goal of "I will be #1 in everything I do!" I will work my butt off to make sure I accomplish what I want. Having weekly goals to make sure I keep up on all things in life! From this day forward no more procrastination, excuses, complaining, or anything that brings myself down as a person!

          I'm Ethan McIlhargey and I'm the best damn person in the world to complete this mission!....& I approve this message! :)
