2013 is almost over, and I am very excited for the new year! I am jut going to compile a list of what I am grateful for this year. In the new year I will post what my goals are!!!!! Even though this year seemed to pass by really fast, there were things I was grateful for!
1. Being accepted into the college I wanted.
I was accepted into the college of my choice, and I was very happy because I really worked hard and was determined more than ever! Whenever I don't feel up to it or lazy, I think to myself that there are a lot of things I can do if I just work harder!
2. Living in my first apartment!
I never moved into an apartment before this year. There was a lot of ups and downs ( a lot of downs), but I have to say that I learned to be more independent. I learned a lot about having roommates, leases, and noisy neighbors and that such. I now know what to do next time I look for an apartment.I thank God that I had a place to stay, and another milestone to project me to adulthood.
3. Making friends!
There was a point of time in my life where I literally had no social life. It was just school, volunteer, then go home. As I have stated before I am introverted, and if you haven't read my blog title I am also shy. The shyness has been going away though, and I don't know if it's because local college is different from university or what? But I have made more friends and relationships there than before. I prayed on it and it happened, and I am looking forward to making more relationships next year!
4. Meeting others with sickle cell!
I always would say to myself, I wish I knew someone with sickle cell! So I guess God heard me because out of nowhere I was able to go to the Sickle 2k Walk near my university. It was amazing, because I met people there who are now my friends, and when I was sick in the hospital they helped me out so much and visited me often! It shows that when you are going through something terrible in your life it helps to have a support system around you to reassure you everything will be okay.
5. My trip to Mexico!
I can't end this list without mentioning my trip to Mexico! It was my first solo trip, and it was outside of the country. I have to make the video of my trip and post it on youtube! Anyway this past summer my journey to Puerto Vallarta was fantastico! I had so much fun and learned along the way. However, I really became independent and overcame my fears and everyone else's fears to go through this trip by myself. I love to travel and want to travel 'till I 'cant no more, and I didn't let money, people, news, doubts, anything stop me from going. If I did, I wouldn't have the memories that will last a lifetime!
There is a lot of stuff I am grateful for God, Jesus my family,and plenty of things! In addition, there will be more to come by believing in the great things God has in store for me! Happy holidays and a happy new year!
