This semester has taught me that...

I am Nothing. Sometimes I get so caught up myself that I forget to help others. There are so many things I have to get done, but there will always be things to do. I've learned the only true way to make myself better is to forget about me. It's when I'm concentrating so much on myself that I am the worst off. I am only one tiny person in this GIANT world. If I could see my life from God's perspective for just five minutes, I think the way I live would change tremendously. Every other person on this earth has a life they want to live the best they can too, not just me. We all want the best - so why not help each other achieve it?

True friends last. Friends come and go. Some keep in contact and other's don't. I've moved around enough in my life to have learned this principle. I try my best to stay in touch with my friends, but I've learned some friends just move on. I change, and they change and it's sometimes hard to deal with. I love all my friends and I'm grateful for my real friends who are always there :)

Happiness = work. Without work and sacrifice, I am not happy. I love being busy because it keeps my mind off the silly stupid things and helps me set priorities in life. Frequent breaks from busy life are important, but there will always be an alarm to wake up to and a bell to get back to work. Life is full of choices and I'm making it a goal to stretch myself and be more productive with my time. I love the satisfying feeling of accomplishment!
