risks

I would not consider myself a “risk taker”. Most of the time when people take risks it does not turn out as planned. I have never done anything that bad in my life, maybe the biggest risk I have taken has been… coming home a few minutes past curfew to see what my boundaries are ,since then I have not come home past curfew. Some people like the adrenaline rush, not knowing what is going to happen next, while others like knowing they are safe wherever they may be. That is the type of person I am. I like having the security of knowing that I am safe and that there is no way I could be getting caught up into any sort of trouble. Trouble is not my thing, I do not enjoy testing the waters or being a rebellious kid, I like to stay in the lines and not break rules. Rules and boundaries are there for a reason and I like to stick to it. The most dangerous thing I have ever been involved in was a car accident my freshman year with six or my close friends. Being a dumb freshman a few of us decided to go for a drive with a junior boy and we ended our fun car ride around a tree, car totaled. No one, luckily, was seriously hurt, but that could have turned out horrible. None of us were wearing seat belts and I did not know if the driver had been drinking or taking pills, it was unknown. So that was the most serious risk I have ever taken, besides that it has just been silly little things like at sleepovers we would sneak out for a few hours. Socially I feel like I take risks more often than not. I am always myself and I can be very loud or quiet in different situations, depending on how my attitude is that day can be a risk. Some days I feel more carefree than others, I could care less who was around me or what anyone thinks of me, but other times it is the complete opposite, I could be the most timid girl you’ve ever met. Academically I do not take many risks, I can not be risky in that field. In most classes I either do really good and I try hard if I am interested or I am laid back. Everyone has different views on what is risky and what is not. I know my boundaries for myself and I always think before I make decisions of what my mom would think. Before many decisions or anything that I may do I always say to myself, would I do this if my mom was here? Or what would mom think about this? It is very important to me to keep my mom proud of me and I would be crushed if I ever disappointed her. I never want to let her down and she has pretty high standards to why bother risking our relationship?
