Great Expectations

I love the title of the book we had to read these past few weeks, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Pip had people expect great things from him and people expect great things from me. I feel no pressure from these people. Most people who expect great things from me are my family, my soccer coach, and my boyfriend. The great things they expect from me are to succeed at my own goals. For instance, my coach expects the best I can do day in and day out. He only wants me to give 100 percent of what I can give that day. My family wants me to succeed at my personal goals of becoming a pediatric nurse. They expect me to go to school, to play soccer the best of my abilities, and to accomplish my personal goals. My boyfriend wants me to accomplish my goals to achieve my own expectations for myself. I would call him my biggest fan right now to help me achieve my expectations. He is my supporter and when I stray from my expectations, he is there to help work things out. My “great expectations” are being accomplished each day with the support of these great people.
