Think About It

I have one week left of school.

YES!!!

I am so excited to have a break from that busy schedule for a change.

I don't want school to end for one academic reason though:  I have to finish my quilt.  I have been working on it nonstop, coming in early in the morning and staying in after school.  I am literally steps away from finishing, but I am worried that my teacher is going to give up on me and give me a bad grade.  I can't afford that!  When I've worked so hard, I have to finish what I've started.  That's been pressing on my mind, and I pray she'll let me finish, and give me the grade that I deserve. 

Other than that though, school ending has sounded like a dream.  Already, I've been destressing.  I started reading the book "My Story" by Elizabeth Smart.  This book was my choice and wasn't an assignment.  There is a distinct fun level in reading when it isn't for an assignment in my opinion.  I've been absolutely fascinated with her story.  Her story is one that impressed upon my mind when I was a little girl.  I'm surprised that I remembered it really.  She is a beacon of hope and strength to me.

I have a maze mind today.   Where am I going to get to?  Who am I going to be?  I have big dreams for myself.  I can see myself becoming many things.  I see myself being a trustworthy friend as I enter into my senior year of high school.  I see myself becoming a Mother someday.  I see myself using the knowledge I've attained to go into a career I love. Right now, I've been thinking along the lines of a major in math or science in college when I get there.  I see myself getting a job, and being a leader.  I see myself having a confident voice and the ability to change the world by being and improving myself.  I see myself not being alone.  I see my family all around around me.  The family I have now, and the family I strongly desire to have in the future.  It is a powerful and wonderful thought to me that in my future, I will find a man that I will love with my entire being and who will love me back equally.  We will be a force for good in the world.

These are some of my meandering thoughts for today...they don't really corrolate, but it's been what I've been thinking about lately.  It's interesting that people can think of so many things at once.  Amazing really.  Your ability to think is a priceless gift.   Think about it.
