Life is sweet...
Ok. So life is really really sweet sometimes im not going to lie. I came home this weekend for many reasons but one of the main ones is the fact that President Bush is going to be here tomorrow to speak. Now this means that i have to skip all my Monday classes in order to see it and my education teacher wants to deduct my grade for it...but his speech is going to mainly focus on strengthening education. So maybe i can use that to work for me and my grade. Also, my Dad is on the Executive Committee for the Republican party here in Springfield and so he got priority seating. Now im thinking seating that is close to the front and i would get to see the President better. Oh no, my seat is right behind the President...i will get to shake the President's hand tomorrow. How cool is that?!?!?! Also i went today to volunteer to help set everything up and i was interviewed by the paper about why i was here and why i wanted to see him and what message i had for young people and getting involved in politics. Then they were setting up all the phones for the media and all the tv's and what not. This entire experience has just been so extremely cool and really really interesting. I can't wait to experience all the security and what not tomorrow and see how it all works. Exciting!!
It's been a great weekend here. I have had a ton of fun. I have been out til like 3 both nights and it has just been a great weekend. I have felt that from this weekend home im getting something back that i had lost...and it feels wonderful. Im excited for what the future holds for me for once instead of terrified. I have amazing people in my life...i really do. It's so nice when everything just starts coming together. I am feeling really good about life...im not going to lie. Here is the quote of my life right now...
"Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be."
I need to let go of the mistakes i have made in life and forgive myself for going against what i believe and start from here to become the person i want to be. I think sometimes we have to really mess up to realize and confirm what we don't want to be. Im just glad mine happened early in life so i have time to work to change it. Im not saying however that i may not royally mess up in the future...well all screw up and that's a part of life. I am starting over and im feeling really great about it, i am feeling that confidence and strength that i once had is coming back. Feeling strong.
Im off to take a nap before dinner. BUSH 04!
