People CAN change. Many times though, motivation is the key. I don't know how many biographies I have read where they say, 'After I saw my kids, I knew I had to change', and then, sooner or later, they did.
For me, when I was younger, I defintely was NOT self-sufficient. However, as I have worked abroad for several years now, that DEFINITELY was a change for me (and in me) as I had to rely on myself a lot more. I had to learn to do all the things I SHOULD have learned during my college years.
Another time was possibly in 9th grade. I rarely ever studied, and did horrible in French. I thought it was hopeless. However, one time, I really DID study hard and pulled off a B, which was awesome. It showed to me that hard work does pay off. That would then cause another change inwhich the next year I decided to actually study for my classes. Hence, my grades went from the B to D range into A's and B's. That change also led to me almost expecting perfection from myself ( to the point that I would work insane amount of hours to get everything down). That too, has changed some, although when that happened (other than simply graduating), I don't know.
In more recent times, getting married, and with the knowledge of having children (albeit five years in the futue, but still the thought) has changed me as I now really am focusing on trying to do the best to provide for my family both now, and down the road.
