Letter to Myself

As a current college freshman, I already have some advice to myself in high school. The biggest one is to not slack off. Though a very easy senior year was very fun, it did not prepare me very well for college. I am still wanting that easy breezy schedule, however, I have way more to do. Take some classes that will better prepare yourself for the workload and the mental capacity needed. Also, try to be a little more social, get used to making friends and hanging out instead of just being a loner. It will make the long afternoons more fun. Be more assertive instead of waiting for people to ask you to do stuff. Other than that, your pretty much ready for your freshman year at OU!

Reactionary Tactics

I really do think integrity and the bystander effect is a huge issue the human race faces today. I also believe, mhmm kinda don't know how to put this...what people believe others will think of them is not as low or weird or stupid by doing the right thing as they think. In fact, atleast me personally, find myself thinking much higher of someone who stands up to what is right. Society is so caught up with their image that it presses on our decisions of doing right. People don't want to look stupid in front of friends or others around them, most of which the chances of seeing them again are highly unlikely. I try to do what I can for who I can. After such a scare one time, I vowed to never do something so "stupid" again. But I later realized that anything someone can take from me is replaceble, that if they felt they need it more than I do, they can have it. Also, that when it is my time to go, I will go. And the things that don't kill me, I learn from. Thats kinda my opinion on the Bystander Effect.

Priorities

So my number one priority in life is to be happy whether it is at work, home, or vacation. I will work hard, but also be sure to have fun as well. My father always told me "Play hard and learn a lot." Work hard to do your job or duty, but have fun as well. I want to find a job where I can do both. My dream job is to be a photographer for a snowboard team, to be able to do my passion-photography, and hang out with my other passion-snowboarding. I plan on keeping this true through my life by having three priorities-God, family, everything else. With my faith as my number one priority I can achieve all things. Nothing coming before my faith will lead to a strong heart and a strong soul. With family next, I will show them the love and devotion they need and deserve. Being a family man and never letting work get in the way of my family will help lead me to working hard to support them; yet, I will still play and have fun. Everything else in life will follow, because I've grown up putting my faith and my family before anything else in life.

My Dad

My main influence throughout my whole life is my dad. The epitome of what a man should be, a hard worker and a family man; a brilliant mind and a cool spirit; he had his morals straight and followed them, always leading in the direction he wanted others to follow. He never gave up on anything and always wanted the best for others. He lived a life I strive to follow everyday, with humbleness and humility never getting in the way. He tried to always be positive about the challenges he faced. He knew how to love his family and friends, but more importantly knew how to show it. Whether it was just listening while I talked or giving me a back rub when i woke up with a sore neck. He was genuinely interested in everything I had to say or anything I was passionate about. He pushed me to be the best I could be, as a person or as a player. He never gave up, on a project or on life. Whether just running, working out, or homework I always push my hardest to never give up.

All About Me

What's up?!?!?

My name is David Wills and I am a freshman at THE University of Oklahoma. I am currently staying in Walker Tower and have a roommate and two sweet-mates as I like to call them. I was born in Dallas, Texas and quickly moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado when I was just a wee bit of 8 months old. I lived there for five years and moved back to the house where I lived until I moved here. I am from Allen, Texas about 30 miles north of Dallas. I graduated from a whopping class of 1,279. I was on the drum line all four years of high school and have been playing drums since the sixth grade. I love to snowboard, wakeboard, and skateboard. I listen to all types of music; if I enjoy the song, I listen to it. Coming to OU as been a huge dream of mine since fourth or fifth grade, so I'm living a dream come true.
