this week has been amazing.
when we came back from break on monday i had this really weird feeling inside me, like i needed to do something. i don't know how but i ended up in dr. lewis's office and i was telling him why i thought the group that meets at panera for a mini-youth group thing should be able to meet at school on friday mornings and not have to meet off campus. i don't really know why i was in there. ever since the group started when i was a sophomore, we had to meet off campus, and despite our recent efforts this year, no one had changed their mind about that policy. but for some reason i was still trying. as i walked out of that office, i knew what the reason was, and that reason was God. i knew it because He had given me and my friends strength over the past few months to want to make change happen within our school. i knew it because He had guided me into dr. lewis's office that afternoon. and i knew it because He had changed the hearts of people at school. when i left that room monday afternoon, we had a different answer than we had ever heard before.
so now the panera group meets at school on friday mornings at 7 AM in mrs. ulmers room. i hope everyone can come check it out sometime. it's awesome.
we need a name. a name that doesn't include the words club/group/bunch/etc because this isn't a closed circle of people. any suggestions...would be amazing.
i saw garden state yesterday. definitely one of my new favorites. i would just like to say that i made you a shirt.
today was my senior speech. for anyone who didn't hear it, it was on economic distress in appalachia. i'm really passionate about that topic and i had an awesome time writing it (even though it took forever) because it's something i really care about. but more than that, i had an awesome time delivering it because, even though i know a lot of people didn't pay attention, it was cool that i got to stand up in front of 400 people and talk to them about something that i cared so much about. apparently my passion for appalachia came through in my speech, which is what i wanted. and i got a 97. which i've heard is pretty good for speeches, though i'm not really sure how that measures up. but i do know it's three points from 100. and that's pretty nifty.
other requests...can this Me creature please reveal his/her identity at some point or in some way. i don't like secrets.
umm...this is perfect.
seriously.
