Sorry for the long wait everyone, I have been really busy this past month, applying for sccholarships, studying and preparing my college applications. The feeling is overwhelming, but I know that at the end of my senior year, all of my hard work will pay off. So I finally got to check off get a leadership position off of my senior year checklist. And not only one position, but two leadership positions:Future Business Leaders of America (Vice-President), and Junior Civitans ( Treasurer)! I feel so blessed and very honored that my peers and school club advisors have noticed my commitment and teamwork to hold these titles. And at the Junior Civitan induction ceremony, I got to sit on the stage and say the pledge of aliegance and acknowledgements. This is such a big accomplishment for me, being that I used to be a very shy and quiet girl, who never really thought of herself as a leader. Now I feel as if I am a turtle, coming out of my little shell, and finally realizing the person that I have always had in me. I know that I can achieve anything, if I continue to believe in myself and stay focused. I already have a lot of great ideas to share with the other officials, so that our members can all do their duty. Second, I was invited to be contestant in the 2012-2013 Miss Blue Revue Pageant (YAY!!) In this pageant, the local Zeta Phi Beta holds an annual pageant to showcase local teen girls. Months leading up to the May pageant, we will be doing bonding projects, workshops, and acts of community service throught our town of Rock Hill. And also I get to sit on a float in the Rock Hill Christmas Parade this year, so I am very excited about that event. I have already started collecting monies, through calander announcements and advertisements. I admit, at first I did not believe that I could have a chance to be in this group of young talented women. But now I see that I was chosen to be in this pageant, but I know that I have the drive and support of my family members to win. And last but not least, I got my report card the other day and my grades getting better! I have an 80 right now in AP Biology, which I did not think that someone like me who has had college prep classes all three years of high school, could exceed as well as I am! I pray everynight that God will continue to give the strength and wisdom I need to make the right decisions, and continue to my absolute best in school. It's now or never, and I refuse to give up on my dreams and goals!!
Until my next entry, I hope that everyone has a blessed November and Thanksgiving!
