Journal # 17- Personal Issue-Not trying enough/Life decisions

I have been noticing for the past 2 or 3 years that I am an underachiever, I had an opportunity to be in IB and I ran out of there the first day. I also had the opportunity to skip a year and then again I declined , with my grades and the effort I was putting in school back them I could be out of highschool and having a semester of University already done. My decision of not skipping those grades leave me thinking now where would I be. I have the brains to get to places, get the schoolarships but I just do not feel motivated to do so.If I had not stop putting as much effort I know pretty well I can wipe all competition that's for sure. I may be an underachiever but when I get something in my mind that I have to do I go for it full speed, which is one of my best traits trying to hard for that, that I am passionate about. If its about fixing some electronic that I need to use but I lack the money to fix it I do it myself without any prior experience I work on that until I get it fixed. Or if all that is tried fails I work my way around things for my good or for others. Having taken those decisions in life now have me sitting with 4 great friends with which I tend to hang out alot( I have alot more friend but these guys are my MLG). If I had been moved those years I would have never met them. Yet that other side of me knows I would be in a better position maybe with some Interweb fame climbing to the top. With other friends, with different experiences yet I would have known my mind was not ready for that I would have thrown myself into the real world 2 years earlier, confronting the world with a much younger mind. My habit of being an underachiever has brought me much good to my life now I just need to know when to strike hard to get to where I need to go, something  simple probably conquer the world.
