I would normally consider myself to be a laser in fact Debriana a year or two ago would have said she was a laser with no hesitation, because I have always been very goal orientated, and I plan everything especially when it comes to my education. This started in the beginning years of high school and senior year I had everything planned out all of the schools I was going to apply to, prior to getting accepted I knew the order in which I would choose my school that I would attend. None of the schools did I mark undecided/undeclared as far as majors I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I chose my school but before I chose it I did the overnight experience at the campus just to be sure because I always had to make sure all of my i's were dotted and my t's were crossed. After a few months of being at my dream school I realized a few things that took me a while to admit to myself one being that I made a huge mistake and I did not want to be where I was currently. I didn't know what I wanted to do anymore, and I made a big mistake and I felt like I shouldn't have and what would I look like transferring schools after ONE YEAR? I had to stop and take a step back and reevaluate myself as a student and realize its ok to be a wonder for a while and for me it was actually imparitive in order for me to regain focus.
I would say now I'm a laser I know were I'm going and what I want to do I am just a more improved laser in the sense that although I'm focus and driven but if my plans ever change I am able to go with the flow a bit easier now.
I think being a laser people may mistake you for having your shit together all the time, lasers themselves sometimes feel like thats how they have to be I know I did and they can feel like they are a lotted less mistakes than others because their looked at as people who "know exactly where their going". I would say to the lasers as well as people looking at or up to lasers remember they are first students and are still learning just like everyone else and for "maximum results" its best to combine all of the student types together in a classroom so they can all learn from each other because guaranteed they all have weaknesses where others are strong in and vise versa and to me thats one of the most beautiful things about the classroom.
