Looking at my blog I see that it has been so long since I have written a blog. Thinks have been short of insane in my life currently. School has been tough, and working nearly full time is making it a trying ordeal, however it is very much worth it. On a positive note I have my graduation date: August 13,2010 yes I graduate on Friday 13th, how fitting is that? 13 is my new lucky number, I feel as if alot of my life will start that day, even though I will be hopefully returning back to school shortly after. This is where I hear my mother's voice in the back of my mind saying "I told you so"...basically I have decided that I will be getting a teaching certification for special education. The more and more I work with the MR(mentally retarted) population I realize that I want to be a teacher for this population and try to give them the most oppurtunities and knowledge that I can give. I will be attempting to get into 3 different programs, Teach for Texas, Teach for America, and an online teaching certification program. The Teach for Texas and Teach for America are both programs that allow you to teach for an alloted amount of time and in return they will help you pay to get your certification. I am sincerly hoping to be able to become a participant in those programs because of the difference I will be able to make. That is my desire right now, and then eventually I will be going back to school to obtain my master in Special Education, or my LPC to be a counselor. I feel that I will be able to make a difference in someones life because of this. Other than school and work I have had many other endevors that I am going to be a part of.
Michael and I have registered for a 5K in Kyle on May 2nd. It is the Frontporchdays 5K at Plum Creek. This is going to be my first step in hopefully being able to complete the annual Austin Marathon in February 2011. Also on the lines of being active I am going to be Relaying on May 14-15 at Barton Junior High. I am a team captain and committee member. This is going to be an especially emotional event to me since loosing Jessica last October. However it will be great because of the oppurtunity that it will give others who are fighting and have fought that horrible, disgusting, nasty Cancer. Yuck the word makes me shudder.
It seems as if my life can not get any busier right now, but it does. I have been blessed to be able to get in contact with some old friends from highschool, as well as making a new friends, these wonderful new people are keeping my life busy but keeping it fullfilled. As well I am running around with my family and staying involved in my little sister's life. And there is always Michael who bless his heart just runs around with me, but I think he enjoys my family bringing him in as if he is a part of the family. That is a true blessing for me, because I do value what my family thinks. I believe that my Dad even likes him, which is amazing considering I am his little girl.
Other than the craziness of family, friends, school, work, and life in general I have made a vow that I will be writing more, and I am definetly going to be trying to be more active, in fact Michael and I are planning on getting bikes so we can start biking as well as training for the upcoming 5K and hopefully others. So it seems that in all the swirling craziness of my life that keeps speeding up like a train in a hurry to go somewhere I am pretty grounded and ready to move forward.
