So its been quite some time since I've updated. I'll try and give a pretty good summary of my life recently.
I have fully moved into school, finished RA training (I love the new RAs!), helped everyone else move in, and finished one week of school. All has been going pretty well so far. The stress has not officially begun yet. I am starting to get an idea of what to expect from the education program but it doesn't seem too bad so far. I'm sure the stress will be mounting shortly. I'm so excited about getting into the school system. I start in the Elementary school on August 29th. Thats one week! Its a good thing too because I have been in withdrawal from my kids at Primrose. I miss seeing their smiling faces every morning. I have never been so sure of what I want to do with my life. I have such a passion for teaching. And even though I am fully aware of the frustrations I will have to deal with as a teacher, I know that I will still get discouraged with it at times. I'm hoping that my passion and love for teaching will outweigh the pain-in-the-neck things that will come along.
It seems like so many people my age now are dealing with stress and grief. So many things have been going on. First off, I guess its just that time in life when it hits you that you have to decide what you are going to do for the rest of your life. I've had several friends dramatically change their major and its just been a real cause of stress. I am so grateful that I know what I want to do and I have not doubts that I will love doing it.
There have been a lot of deaths that have impacted my life lately. My cousin's friend died recently from cancer. They have both been in my prayers and thoughts. I don't know what I would do if a close friend of mine passed away. Early this morning we had 4 students at North Georgia get into a car accident from drunk driving. 2 died and 2 are in the hospital. So many people are just completely torn up. I didn't know any of them personally. I cannot even imagine to know what any of them are feeling right now. All I can do is be there as a shoulder to cry on and a comforting hug. I just don't know if there is much more I can do. It just really hits home to realize that life is short and also how serious driving drunk is. It is so so dangerous. One little mistake and you could lose it all. Its such a hard concept to swallow. Please be there for your friends. I have a poster up on my hall that says Carpe Key-em...Seize the keys. I love that poster. So seize the keys and keep your friends alive! Please pray for all of these people and their families. The power of prayer is infinite. I ask that God lay his hand of comfort on them and I ask that you please join me in this prayer.
So amidst all of the things that are going on, I have school work to do. So I must get back to that. Thank you for praying with me. If there is anything that I can do for any of you, please let me know. Until next time, be safe and live life to the fullest. I love you all!
