Risk-Taking

Senior year presents itself with many options: where to live, where to attend school, what to study, etc. Though I would like to study creative writing and psychology in college, I have no idea whether or not I'll end up staying in Chicago or moving to New York. Frankly, it scares the shit out of me. Will I be well enough to even consider The New School of New York? Who knows?

It's important to practice taking healthy risks so that I will be confident enough to consider moving away as an option, rather than safely staying at home. Doing this involves practicing:

Self-Confidence : Allowing one to please one's self and somewhat eradicate anxiety associated with change.

Freedom : Understanding how free to do what one pleases one truly is.

Boundaries: Not allowing others' goals to get in the way.

What risks have you held back on?
What risks have you taken?
