Picture # 2

I live by this quote. It has helped me become a stronger person and it has helped me wisely choose true friends. It's so true. Wouldn't you rather have someone actually know you yet not like you than someone who doesn't like you but acts fake to your face? Confusing, yes, but it relates to my life, and any other teenage girl, in so many ways. Real friends truly make your high school career worth it. I know I can't get through anything without mine. This quote is also a lesson. You shouldn't talk about people then go behind their back and say the exact opposite. I know, from experience, that it will always comes back around.

Lent!

So, this Lenten season I chose to give up soda.  This is extremely tough for me, considering I drink soda every day of my life.  But, giving it up gives me an advantage because soda isn't the best thing to drink.  I have stuck with it every day so far and I'm sort of proud of myself, haha. (:  Resisting a temptation is my biggest weakness.  It has helped me rely on God more because I know he's helping me with it all the time.  Basically, everything is all and well this Lenten season and I am very happy with it!

What do I wanna be when I'm older?

I think about this way too much.  When I'm older I either want to be a psychologist, something in the nursing field, or something that involves traveling.  First, a psychologist?  Yeah, I know random but I love talking to people and figuring out what different people are about.  You could put me in a room for days on end with one single person I don't know and I wouldn't get bored.  Nursing, sweet right?  Right. :) My mom is a surgical tech and OSF and I think that's where I get that sort of drive to be someone that works in a hospital.  I love helping people and making sure others are ok.  I like to learn about things that have to do with it too.  Last but not least, traveling?  My favorite!  Don't get me wrong, I hate to be alone from home for awhile if my family isn't there with me, but I love to go to new places and see everything there is to see.  I think it'd be the coolest thing ever!  Okay, class is almost over, gotta go. (: Have a good day!!!

Yay for service hours :)

So, my service hour project this year is for sure the best one ever!  Mrs. Materelli asked if I would like to help in the kitchen during homeroom for service hours, heck yes!  I get to lunch first and all of my friends do it with me too.  All of the lunch ladies are the sweetest and sometimes we get free cookies! :)  The other service project I did in the summer of '08 was help and St. Philomena Vacation Bible School.  It was so fun!  I got to be a group leader.  Considering I love kids, and I was with them all the time, there was never a dull moment.  All of the group leaders and kids had a lot of fun activites to do everyday!  It was in the morning from 9-12, which isn't bad at all.  They even provided food, yay.

Who's Paul Harvey?

Today,  over 25 million people “stand by” for Paul Harvey.  That’s the number of loyal listeners who 

tune in every week to hear his skillful blend of news and views.   He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  He made his own radio sets while still a boy.  While in high school, he frequented KVOO radio until the manager finally hired him.  His amazing skill of communication took him around the world and back to Oklahoma for induction into The Hall of Fame.  The ABC Networks have been bringing Paul to a national radio audiences for over 50 years on over 1000 radio stations.  He is a recent recipient of the Presidential Medal of honor, given to him by George W. Bush in 2005.

Wow, that guy is crazy amazing.  I think it would be the coolest thing in the world to do what he did all of his life.  One of my favorite things to do is talk, HA.  That would be, hands down, the sweetest career ever to pursue.
