"I took the time to talk with myself and give me some mental shakeups"

I believe the best way to summarize the problems of my life, cliche as it may sound, is that I was my worst problem. The various issues that sprung up in my own mind when my perspective on life, after enrolling in university, begun to suffer dramatic changes. I was no "soldier" anymore in my lifestyle and though this gave me room for positive changes in my way of thinking, it paved the way for my natural tendency toward organization to crumble and a stubborn denial to put effort into anything that is the slightest bit tiresome to take hold. With my actually, sole goal of joining the school I wanted achieved, my life began to unravel. I had no compass in how to approach said schoold, how to build my academic life and my social life after years of being a "geek", how to take in all these new experiences I am offered in the big city. I never quite gave up, I can't say a part of me hasn't always been thinking things through, but I lost myself in the sea of thoughts and I had no courage to climb what I saw as mountains to get what I wanted.

Aha moments, I've had a few despite being but 3 weeks into the program. Not so much as some epiphany but because I took the time to talk with myself and give me some mental shakeups. I think I am a textbook case of "answers being in me." 

Early as I am in the program, I can't say I've witnessed much change, but the clarity gained in each sector, I consider a BIG win. I was insecure and impatient on mapping my life, perhaps because I wanted to that much, now I've taken the first steps. A start is half the battle. Now about recommending it, I believe my entire letter quite justifies a Yes and why, as far as my criterion is concerned.
