I Better “CURRY” up and get my dad to sign these forms!
Be aware: love dorkey puns
A day after I am accepted and I have yet to fully convince
my daddy! I understand all his concern because I am his baby and it will be
hard for him and my mom to let go. I have never wanted something so bad in my
life! Since the day I started the application I have not stopped thinking about
it; it was like a distant dream! Now my dream is a reality and all I need is
one signature to make it come true!
What is
running through my mind right now?
Oh, SO much! My life is about to take speed in a wild
direction, full of ups and downs and crazy surprises and turns. This ride will
be bumpy and it will be good or bad depending on my frame of mind and
participation. This is completely out of my comfort zone which scares me and
yet, excites me. I feel as if I am living in a bubble. I feel as if know one
here understands what the world is, what life is REALLY like and how other
people live. It not that people here are ignorant. It’s just that on long
island we really don’t know about the amazing opportunities out for grabs out
there to see the world. Like some famous guy once said “Ignorance is not, not
knowing something; its knowing that there’s information out there and not
WANTING to know it.” I won’t let myself stay in this bubble. I am going to
explore! I am going to see what life Is in like outside of here! I refuse to be
a person that follows the common path in life…I will make my own!
I may be
ranting a bit but I can’t stop! Some people may say I am crazy for this, and
maybe I am. Maybe I’m not strong enough, independent enough, motivated enough
for this but HECK I am going to find out!
No matter what other people say to try to convince me to stay, I will
never second guess this opportunity because make it through this whole year or
not (I will though) I will come back a changed person J
( Day
after writing that ^)
MY DAD SIGNED THE PAPER!!! I love him and my mom so much for
this! I can not thank them enough! As well as my teachers, siblings, and my
friends who supported me through this process! I will miss everyone so much! I
cant think about that yet though!
