Today is my last day of pledging. I'm happy in a way but sad that I won't be able to see my pledge sisters everyday. But hopefully today, if all goes well, I may be going home to see dad. I'm so excited. I wonder if he'll pick me up since both mom and Gaelyn will be working. This week has been tough but it's also made me a stronger person. I'm now able to manage my time better than what I used to. I didn't miss a single activity all week. I'm very proud of myself for that. My big sis, grand big sis, and great grand big sis, were all proud or me for giving 110%, but I have to say that if it wasn't for them. I don't think that I would have done it. They were a great source of motivation and they were behind me the whole way. I'm just so glad that I got the opporotunity to get involved with Ep Sig. I don't think that they have any idea about how much happier they've made me. I feel welcome and I feel that I fit in with them. They're the best thing that's happened to me (so far) this year. I can't wait to show my family how much green and pink parafanelia that my room consists of now. I'm really excited. I hope that my parents are proud of me. I've been busting my butt in all of my school work and in my extracarricular activites. I think that they would be pleasantly suprised about how much I've grown in the past couple of weeks. I now walk taller now, I'm more confident in myself and I'm not afraid to ask questions anymore. But, most importantly, I'm having fun. That's all that they really wanted me to do. I don't know what God has planned for me yet, but I'm ready for whatever challenge He gives me. I'm not afraid anymore. The power of God is much more powerful than my fears or any other emotion. I guess I kind of came to that realization during the prayer section of BSU. I had a really good conversation with God that night, oh, wait, it was last night hah. But now I really know that I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
