Positive Thoughts

Things are really starting to turn around :) The days are getting easier, and so are the nights. I have the best friends to thank for that too!

I'm getting ready to wrap up my last semester of classes before I student teach and I seriously cannot believe it. It doesn't seem real that I'm (hopefully) going to have my own classroom by August!

I'm really starting to come back into my own and remember what I love about life, and about myself. I didn't realize how much I had changed and tried to become this person that I thought people wanted me to be over the last 3 years. I try to remind myself everyday that I have to live my life for me and not for anyone else. Otherwise, it's not my life.

Keeping positive has been one of the biggest things that has helped me get through this all. I've had a lot of people in the last month or so thank me for it too.. I was so caught off guard by it. I really did not think that it was going to make a difference to anyone, but I'm glad that I could help others out :)

The whole deal with the positive posts was really my way of trying to remind myself that even though things are happening around me that I don't like and don't understand I don't have to be someone I don't like. There are so many other good things in life that you have to remember. If you look at the bad all the time eventually it is going to consume you. So instead I've spend a lot of time really thinking and focusing on the positive :)

I cannot wait to get this semester wrapped up, and to head home and relax for a little before diving back into winter guard, and getting started in the classroom! So many great things about to start :)
