LA DE DA
It is such a beautiful day out!!! And it is day 8 in my streak! This is amazing. It keeps getting easier and easier. There is hope after all.
So I just finished updating my closet...getting rid of all my old ugly clothes and what not. I think I'm going to Old Navy today to get some more flip flops and maybe another bathing suit- we will see. I also need to figure out how I'm doing my hair and make an appointment. Prom is this Friday...it's craziness.
So I applied for a scholarship...it's this weird contest for some beauty product but I have the oppurtunity to win $3000 so I figured I'd give it a shot. I need to hop on these scholarship forms. I think I'll show you all what I wrote. I used the maximum amount of room provided for typing, and it's really short so I guess they didn't want anything long. The question was "What are you doing to make a statement in your life?" Here's what I wrote:
As a senior in high school, I have been doing a lot of thinking about the future. Ironically, this often causes me to reminisce on the past and the mistakes I’ve made. Just recently I’ve come to the realization that dwelling on these experiences will not make life any better. The only thing to do is to learn from each mistake and move on.
I am making a statement in life by giving other’s something I’ve always wanted: A second chance. Whether volunteering, helping raise my three brothers, or just being there for friends in need, I realize that by helping others I'm also helping myself. Upon reflection I've found that this is one of the most rewarding ways to live. I do spend time enriching my own life, focusing on school and sports, but I achieve true happiness through the happiness of others. I hope in the future I'll look back on this and smile, knowing I've lived the best way possible.
Interesting. It kinda sucks but whatever. Well I feel as if I should be doing something out in the gorgeous weather instead of sitting here on my computer so I think I'm done writing today. Sorry about slacking on the updates...people are slacking on commenting too though so I don't feel so bad. Laterrrrrr :)
