growing.
Today TJ and I gave a presentation in my Global Flow class on behalf of the Fair Trade club. We talked about why Fair trade is necessary, important, and how we can each contribute to it's success. People really paid attention and contributed. It was awesome.
Then I met with my writing teacher to talk about my paper, and at the end he said, "listen emily, I really appreciate your contributions... both in this class and on our campus. You do a lot of good work. I really appreciate it."
I didn't know what to say. I blushed hardcore. It felt really good.
The thing is that I feel like I don't even do half of the things i'm supposed to, let alone SHOULD, let ALONE WOULD!! I feel like so much of my work is piggybacking. But I guess that piggybacking is okay, and that I'm doing something, and the fact of the matter is that a lot of people don't even do something. They just talk about it sometimes.
But i still feel like i don't do enough at all.
But....
Could it be? Am I starting to become the person I've wanted to be for a great portion of my life?
I think it's starting. I can feel the sprouts of something growing up through me me, fresh green bursts above the surface of the ideals and values that i, with the help of positive influences, have planted deep inside. And they're starting to burst through the surface. And Ron Denson saw them.
I like the way they feel. They feel like the start of a substantial existence, something that matters.
There is so much left to do. So much. But this won't daunt me. This will inspire me.
