My Week... Not a College Student Thank Goodness!

Well,

While my classmates were either visiting colleges or in Mexico,

I was still in school!

Yippee.

I did math, sketched, analyzed what I needed to do/fix, and wondered around the school feeling slightly... out of place... "why aren't you with the rest of your grade Sarah?" "I thought you were going to be in Mexico Sarah!" "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" Yeah yeah yeah. Got it.

I'll take the blame for not being somewhere fun, but I still learned a lot.

Big personal reveal #1- I'm depressing! I pity myself too much and need to get my face out of my pillow on my feet! I also learned something that holds me back. When I get too stressed or feel that I will never be done, I shut down. Whoop. That's something to fix. I'm going to have reasons to be stressed for the rest of my life. (Like... College! Can't shut down there! Just a way to explain the title...) May as well learn to put up with it, not be overly stressed (the devil to the nature of my brain, curses!) and move on. I think I've known that for a long time, I just finally admitted that it was an extremely degrading, and that it was what has always held me back. Not to mention my fault... :/ :) One of my fatal flaws I am striving to fix.

#2- I love my friends. They are very very important. As who they are, what they have helped me become, what they teach... just for existing! They are important because they are people. I'm so glad our paths crossed! They are wonderful! I missed them dearly! Every last one! I was immensely grateful for the ones that I did see throughout the week.

#3- With the above, I learned that family is the most important thing. Friends are important. But throughout my life, my family has been a constant I have been able to count on to stay the same (You have no idea how grateful I am for that. I know not everyone has that same blessing). The only thing that changes are adorable additions (that are a little feisty...). Forever too!

How does that relate to who I am? ... who am I?
I am someone striving to do her best. Knowing that there is a plan for all of us, and that we can be with our families forever. Also, knowing that I am a Child of God and no body can change that.

What am I going to do because of this?

Learn and live so I can help my own family. I will work hard to learn, and work hard to learn how to learn. I'm going to have to be teachable for the rest of my life!
