My name is Mackenzie Hodo. I hope that by the time I present this, I have grown into the young woman my mother and father want me to become. I aspire to be a psychologist and I wish to have a successful career which means throughout my four years I need to be determined and driven to get into a good school and continue down the right path. Some of my idols are my mother, Oprah of course, and Janelle Monae because I like how they are such strong women who don't care what people think of them. They know what they want and who they want to be and I want to be exactly that way because the world is wired to beat you down but the only thing you can do is get back up and keep going.
My family and friends are the most important people in my life
Long Term- My goals in life are to be a good person and stay humble, to become good at what I choose to do as my career path. I want to be happy because life is short and I've seen people in my life literally lose their life to stress and unhappiness and I don't wish this upon anyone so I choose to put positive energy into the world in order to reap the good energy in return, and I also surround myself with good people who lift me up instead of put me down.
Short Term- My goals right now are to maintain my grades and GPA, stay out of trouble, find a good school to go to, and to also keep my stress levels down because I want to have a good high school experience and currently, being in my third year, I can say that high school has been good and I am having fun while ending each year off with a 4.0 GPA which I find impressive within myself because I was nervous for high school and didn't have much faith in myself which wasn't a good mindset to have and I'm glad I changed my mindset.
