		<description>Hey John.

In the part where you said your housemate asked you &quot;who&#039;s going to read what you write?&quot;, it reminded me of the same thing one person said when I was starting my site.  I didn&#039;t have any doubts because of the loads of other people who said I had to start putting my ideas out there so others could benefit, but I can relate to hearing that line.  You can also see it like the person who says that is thinking to themselves &quot;I don&#039;t think others would read my writing/ideas, so why would they read his, as he is surely not better at me in those aspects?&quot;

Also, that point about experiences versus describing them is great and is the reason why this is such a positive outlet, because sooner or later it forces you to bring the action if you want to continue.  A person writing about celebrities will not feel any pressure from their audience/self to develop themselves as time goes on, but a person writing about self-development certainly will.</description>

		<description>@alternaview - ha ha you give me too much credit. I don&#039;t even think wisdom and me are in the same league. But thanks for your kindness. I&#039;ll be sure to keep you updated on all of the trials and tribulations the journey to owning my life entails. Again, thanks so much :)

@Walter - Nice to see you again Walter. No worries on staying true to myself - life has taught me that being yourself is the best way to connect. There&#039;s no point in following what you don&#039;t like. Thanks for your input :)</description>

		<description>You are wise to follow your heart. Many attempts have failed because they measure themselves according to the opinion of others. I hope that when you start your college you will do more in sharing your experiences. :-)</description>

		<description>I am always impressed that so much wisdom can come at a young age.  It really is a special gift.  You see so many people just stumbling through life not even attempting to focus or figure out many of the insights that you have posted on.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts and wisdom.  Your voice is truly authentic and needed in this space.  Have a great year and I look forward to hearing about the insights you gain from your upcoming experiences.</description>

		<description>@Zeenat  - Thank you so much Zeenat. Your words inspire me just as much as mine inspire you. My experiences in college will only make my writing stronger and no doubt I&#039;ll enlighten you guys on every useful detail. I hope that you reach great heights with your new blog :)

@Bunny - Exactly :) I run my blog and will not let it run me. Hope to see you around the blog soon too. 

@Srivinas - SoCal... never been but I&#039;d like to someday. Maybe you can teach me surfing :) Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.

@Dani - Thanks so much! I&#039;m glad you enjoyed it.

@Lisis - (blushing) I feel like I don&#039;t deserve any of your compliments ha ha. Thanks, Lisis :)

Oh yes, it&#039;s time for me to experience college once again. I want to live life to the fullest and inspire people with the blog at the same time. 

I&#039;m sure your college years were complete and utter blast! They don&#039;t call them some of the best years of your life for nothing.

@Jonathan W. - Hey Jonathan! Nice to see you here.
The guest post I had on your blog was one of the best experiences I&#039;ve had with guest posting. We were all just sharing ideas and experiences - it was awesome. On some of the other blogs I&#039;ve guest posted on, I&#039;ve had to take care of the conversation myself. 

I hope to do my best and truly obtain my aim in life one day. Thank you.

@Tess - You rock so hard Tess. 5 months in Mexico to learn Spanish? Most people would just order audio tapes and hope for the best. But of course, you&#039;re not like most people :)

I&#039;ll definitely keep everyone updated and I&#039;ll do my best to keep going up.

@Dana - ha ha your comment is really awesome. Don&#039;t worry I&#039;ll tell em :) I&#039;ll always remember this. Thanks for your support!

@Jonathan F. - I&#039;m so happy you enjoy my writing. Hearing that I&#039;ve made an impact on you is what really makes me happy.

And don&#039;t worry -my will of fire will definitely keep burning.

@Carla - Thanks Carla! Yes, I can safely say that I&#039;ve broken the &quot;blog&quot; barrier. 

I&#039;ll check out your blog. Stay tuned! :)</description>

		<description>Congratulations on your progress.  The first few months of blogging is difficult but it seems like you have gotten into the swing of things.  

I look forward to reading more from you.</description>

		<description>Enjoy your time in college. You have a wonderful blog here and it has brought me tons of joy. its has allowed me to think outside of the box creatively instead of following the crowd. 

The end of the summer is near , but your fire should keep burning.</description>

		<description>Hi John,
What a wonderful post and the quotes...inspiring. I like that you are out living life and will report back to us what&#039;s going on. I didn&#039;t begin college until i was nearly 30 but enjoyed every second of it. I felt like I was 20 and spent 5 months at different times in Mexico to become fluent in Spanish. 

Go and enjoy. Your writing witll only improve as you learn. That means there&#039;s one way for you to go..up!</description>
