I can't believe that in like 4 weeks I officially become a sophmore in college! As I turn 20 this july, I have been reflecting on my life up to this point. I don't feel like I have done alot in my short life. I have no medals or achievements, but I have learned some really important lessons.
This semester has been alot harder on me than last semester. Academically I am doing great, but I miss home so much. I have also been stressed about deciding on my major and what I want to be when I leave college. I have learned so much about myself and what I want to become. As of right now I am going to major in Child Development and cluster in Home and Family and Reading for a Lifetime. I can't wait to start taking classes for each one of these programs.
I found this quote from Helen Keller that has become my new favorite saying. "Keep your face to the sunshine and you can not see the shadow. It's what the sunflowers do." She truly was a wise woman. I have come to release that I need to not be afraid and to trust Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ that everything will work out.
Here are the things that make me the most happy: My family, my friends, the gospel of Jesus Christ, my children's literature class and my other classes, phone calls from family and friends, packages, cheap groceries, comfortable pants, a sunny day without wind, all different kinds of flowers, the route I take for my walk, Patsy's porch, seeing the preschool children on campus, Shopping at the dollar spot in Target
