The new,..... no Who I am Supposed to be! :)

"Everybody I know is my coach."

-William Gates (Hoop Dreams)

The past few weeks have been such an adjustment! :) WOOOOWEEE! :)

But as time has gone on, it has been the best few weeks of my life :) I have an AMAZING institute class! :) I spent an hour talking to an old friend in the parking lot of Weber State

Today! And better yet.. I am on a Spiritual High!!!! wAHOO! :)

As You all know, I usually have a main topic with each post. And today's inspiration came from a movie that we are watching in my Social work Class. It is called Hoop Dreams. Now... I've only seen the first hour of it, and it's about three. But i'm

pretty sure that they gist of the movie is about 2 boys, each having a dream of becoming a professional basketball player. Both, of course, are in very poor home situations, including poverty, drugs, and family problems. But one of them in able to push through all that, embrace education, and

become a very good ball player. His name is William Gates.

In the movie he says "Everybody I know is my

coach" as i pondered on my own life after hearing this, i realized that this is true for me as well. Every person that has come into my life, has taught me how to 'win the game' in one way or the other. Whether they have been a silly friend that I have goofed off with, or a small acquaintance that has taught me how to act like a quiet person ;).

For all of you amazing people that are listening, i just want to say, Thank You. Thank

You for the 18 great years you have formed to help me become the person I am supposed to be. :) I have no idea where I would be if I hadn't met each and every one of you. I look up to you, and I hope one day to have each of your qualities in me. :) Especially my Parents.

After I thought about all the people i've had in my life, I also began to be sad thinking about how some of us weren't very close anymore, or how we have all gone our separate ways because of schooling. But then I am happy, because as one of my good friends(you know who you are) once said "Even though we grew different, we grew different together."

I am so glad that I had friends like this one, that would stick by my side, even when I myself was changing into the person that I needed to be. I have some goofy friends that for some reason accept me as a human being. And with each of them in my life, I have become a very happy, and loving person. I love each of my friends :)

Thinking about all the amazing friends I've had, just makes me want to make more and more friends in the future. Which has urged me to sign up for a committee at institute. When i find out which one i am chosen for, I will be sure to let you know. :) I love making friends, and I hope that i don't become shy as the college years go on. Because Weber State does make it easy to not be involved, and just go to school not talk and then go home without even making a single friend. But I am going to prove it wrong :)

I also have been thinking a lot about missions, careers, and families. :) For the first time in a long time I have been considering going on a mission. I wonder if it is in His plan for me. hmm... Now when it comes to careers I am getting close, and also getting totally lost! I am now leaning more towards social work, But then I think back to occupational therapy.... hopefully i'll figure that out soon before it is a total waste of my time and money :) When it comes to families, I love mine and all.. but I really wanna find a man. Oh man do I! :) Hahaha If I could find my true love, I would be a happy gal :)

Well. i think that is the end of my post for the day. :) <3>
