Since this chapter was on Personality I will tell a current event about how my personality has changed in the past few weeks.
I used to be extremely particular about my school work. I would stress about it to the point that I made myself sick and would have problems sleeping at times because that is what my focus was on. I would get straight A's which meant a lot to me, and I would get very upset when my papers, homework, or tests were not given A's.
Well, this year I have found myself being more relaxed (extremely relaxed) that I can't focus on homework, tests, or even grades as much as I used to. I feel like I no longer have the drive to get my work done, which bothers me, but I still have trouble bringing myself to do the work. When I think about the factors that may be contributing to the cause of my relaxation towards school in general, I can only come up with a few possible reasons: Senioritis, I don't find school as enjoyable as I used to, and three my boyfriend. (I find myself spending time talking on the phone when I should be putting quality time into my school work.)
This is just one very simple example of how the past few weeks my attitude and personality towards school has changed. I think that these influences to my personality come from the people I am around or talk to the most and to the lack of ambition which may or may not come from the Senioritis. In either case, I hope that I find a balance between my old attitude towards school and this new problem.

I know what you mean when you say that a matter of weeks can change your attitude or personality. I have had similar situations. With me it was the other way around. I used to be depressed and hated coming to school. When I met my current boyfriend that all changed. I went to the hospital and got on an antidepressant I am mainly on it for Chronic Headaches but I still think it helps. I am able to sleep at night. I don't mind coming to school. For the first time in my life I actually made A honor roll. I could not believe it. Am I crazy about homework no, but I am actually trying for once in my life. I love feeling like I am doing something with my life. I even donated blood a couple weeks ago that really made me feel good about myself.
