...See more I am almost ready to graduate from high school! But what happens after that? Well, many things. Gap year, straight into the workforce, college, things like that. Everyone chooses their own path, the one that works best for them. The path I chose is college. I want to be an elementary teacher. I grew up being told I would never make it to college, never be smart enough, never get into one, never be able to afford it, etc. But I never let it get me down for long! I had a dream, and was ready to strive for it. So I recently began the journey of applying for colleges, and got into the one I wanted (won't be saying the name on here.) I am so ecstatic to have been accepted! But how will I pay? I asked myself this question a lot, and finally decided. I'm going to get a job the summer before I go to college and earn as much money as I can. I have also applied for FASFA, and other scholarships! All of this on top of normal high school schoolwork has definitely been a challenge, and I have definitely been a very busy bee. But what if I regret this path later? I asked this question to myself a lot as well, but I looked back on my life leading up to this point and I believe that every rapid, and bump in the road has led me to where I am now. I went to military school. Wasn't fun, but we did service to community there, and that gave me volunteer work hours that I can use for scholarships now! So everything has a purpose in the end, even if it is a little hard to see at first. Thank you so much to whoever reads this! I'm glad I got to share my journey with you!

...See more My life started off just like any others. I was born into a family. No one knows when they're younger what they're going to go through as they grow and mature. I used to me anormal kid. Toddling around, not a care in the world. Now I'm diagnosed with so many things therapists often joke that they just gifted me the entire alphabet. I have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), RAD (Reactive Attatchment Disorder), I am diagnosed as Bipolar, BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), ADHD (Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder), Anxiety, Depression, and am also paranoid. It's like my danger sensors are always on. I can't sleep with people around. I can't listen to music in a crowd. I can't just live. But I can try, and I always do. My trauma is a constant reminder that it will always be harder for me to reach out and have an actual long standing relationship with someone. But I still try. I still go out and make friends and try my best, and I hope anyone reading this takes this as a little push to do it as well. Even if relationships are harder for you, if you never try you will never see one flourish. If you never water a flower, it never has the chance to grow. I grew up around trauma, and I almost let it become my whole self. But then I realized it is not me. It is a part of me, yes, but not the whole me. And I conquer it every day, by looking at it and telling it that it does not define me. I define me. I will try and make relationships, I will slowly learn to trust the people around me, I will go back to sleep no matter how many nightmares I have. Because I am healing. And I know it will take a while, but that doesn't mean that every small step I take doesn't count. My trauma still drags me down sometimes, but I always remember that I have the strength to get back up. 🦾 I hope everyone who reads this remembers that healing is a process that can take a while, but even little steps get you to your destination eventually. 💕

What do you guys do when waiting for the results to come back on an important assignment?
