- My musical talents.
Though I don't practice as much as I would like to and need to, I consider music to be a huge accomplishment for me. A couple days ago, I came home bawling because me and my teacher had an argument over something I should have learned the FIRST year I had been playing the harp, rather than the seventh. It's so frustrating to me sometimes, because at times, I have to start over and completely change everything around just to get the right "technique." But honestly..who's going to know?
- Stepping out of my comfort zone.
As most of you know, I just completed my first pageant about a month ago. This was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am not the prissy, gorgeous, preppy, perfect girl's. That is exactly why it was so hard for me. I didn't feel as if I fit in at first. But the night of the pageant, I realized what I was doing there. I learned SO MUCH from that pageant. I met the most amazing girl's, and it changed my life in so many ways. We are all so great in our own ways, though of course I didn't get close to winning, I felt like a winner because of how much I took from the pageant.
- Finding the person I am.
I don't think it usually takes this long for a girl to "find" herself. Sophomore year and part of Junior year, I had no idea who I was. When I found my way back onto the right track, and found the most perfect person in the world-they helped me find who I am. That is a great accomplishment for me. Why? Because I don't ever have to be somebody I'm not. I don't ever have to say something just to please whoever I'm talking to. I don't have to be one of those two-faced girl's who always craved attention.
- Realizing what's most important in my life.
What a huge accomplishment. People don't ever see what's most important. They just live their lives, living each second working, and partying, hanging out with friends, and laughing. Laughing is good, and it makes life good. But you have to make an effort to be BETTER than you were YESTERDAY. GO out and do something that will make you feel good about yourself. GO change something bad about yourself. Realize that family is over friends...always. Realize that you need to go see your sister's baby instead of going to one of your friend's parties, even if that means driving 5 hours just to see the baby for a couple hours. It is worth it, and you will feel a great joy. I know I did.
- Making a "bucket list" and accomplishing certain things on that list.
Bucket Lists take a lifetime..in my perspective. I have only accomplished one or MAYBE two of those things. It makes me cry when I think of just one of the things on my list. My "bucket list" is very personal to me, and I rarely tell anyone ANYTHING on my bucket list. I encourage ALL OF YOU to go make a bucket list. Because when you cross one thing off that list, it brings the biggest smile to your face. Trust me..I did it last night!
- Living the way I do each day.
I don't think you necessarily have to follow all the "rules" and "regulations" to be a good person. I live each day as if I were going to die tomorrow. OF course I make stupid mistakes every so often and wish I could take them back, but I'M HUMAN!! I try my HARDEST to live my life to the fullest. One of the things I do Monday-Friday is an internship at 1st grade. I am IN LOVE with these kids, and I think that I'm going to have a really hard time leaving them. The picture is above is just a little picture showing one of my favorite girls (Emma in the Cheerleading outfit)..teachers lie when they say they don't have a teacher's pet. This is coming from a source! hah! I can honestly say that I've done 6,57563211788+95 times better than I did a couple years ago, or even one year ago for that matter. So if I ever did anything to bother you, or ever made you feel bad for something, and if you're reading this..I am a totally different person now and I am SO sorry.
- School
Holy Hannah...school is so hard! You know..it is a huge accomplishment for me. I want to look back 10 years from now, and know that I gave it my all. I am not a 4.0 student by all means!! Though I am so glad that I am giving it all my all, and I will continue to give it my all! That way, I won't have any regrets like most of the people I talk to. I always here, "You can't really have a life if school is your top priority!" hahah...Do you know what I say to that? "You're lazy...and just don't want to try your hardest (:" with a smiley, not being rude at all in any way!
- Competition
Don't ask me what i'm competing on this year, because I don't know! But last year, I competed and i'm in a club! It is very life-changing! I tried to make a difference and educate all kinds of people on the African Kids that stayed with me. I gave a speech to a group of young girls, the mayor and city council, as well as another group. It changed my life around and I'm sure changed their life as well.
