My heart is like the ocean.

My heart is like the ocean: vast, insurmountable, grand, strong, charismatic, flowing.

I was accepted into U of O's Special Education program!  The program starts on June 20th, 2011, which seems just around the corner...  It is only 2 months away and I seem to be nervous already.  Nervous to move, nervous to go to U of O, nervous to study.  I am a good student, but I never really proved it to myself or to others.  I believe this is my chance to shine and really make those around me see what a hard-working, caring, and devoted person I am.  This is my one shot to really do something great for others, as well as for myself.  I feel so blessed to have made it this far in my life, and to continue on to Graduate School really excites my heart.  I am so blessed and I have so many people to thank for that.  I also thank God for his many blessings and love.  I would not be anywhere close to where I am today if I didn't have Him in my life.  It's been a bumpy road, but here I am alive, healthy, and happy.

Living in Eugene excites me and makes me very eager to get involved with things in the community.  I remember when Jared was living in Eugene and he was involved in the Grower's Market.  He would work at the market for a certain number of hours and then get 10%-15% off whatever he was buying that day.  I think it's a great way to get involved and also meet new people and support local growers.

I hope I have time to do things other than school work, but I am prepared for that not being the case.  Grad school is a huge commitment and takes up an enormous amount of your life and I commend everyone that is going through that right now.  You rock!

As for right now, my heart is singing a song and doing a little jig.  Thank you for being you and reading this.  I appreciate it.  Namaste.
