Reflection Post for "Life's Backpack"

In my life's backpack I carry: family, friends, goals, determination, and dreams. Everything in my backpack helps me focus on what I need to do to be successful in life and as a student. Sometimes, it hinders me to not be successful because I could lose motivation to reach my goals that lead to my dreams. My goals are to get my AA degree in Film then transfer to Cal State Fullerton and graduate with a Bachelor's degree. Once I turn twenty-one then I want to apply to AFI (American Film Institute). In order to get to where I want to be, I have to be successful in all my classes in college. Sometimes the stuff in my life's backpack helps but also hinders me because I don't have a lot of support and encouragement to get to where I need to be. Its hard to get support because my family and friends know how competitve it is to get into the film/tv industry because she many people from around the world have to same dreams and goals as me. Some people think that I shouldn't even bother but I know I'll make it even if I'm not famous, I just want to make movies.
Sometimes I would carry the past. I'm over with what happened, but for some reason it keeps coming back to me like karma.This doensn't help me because it makes me get into this headspace I can never get out of which makes me not focus on my classes and goals. It stresses me out but someone had told me to stop thinking about the past and just keep moving foward.
