Although it's heart wrenching it is nonetheless enthralling. I watch Oprah like every day and Lifetime Movie Network and have seen so many stories of injustices. And, maybe I'm naive, but each one amazes me and makes me wonder how it could be possible. How can things be so unfair? On the flip side, it is really awesome and inspiring that your high school was able to achieve that and that your efforts were rewarded. About you, I have to concur with the comment above. It's tough actually becoming what we wanted to be when we grew up because for most of us that ideal changes a lot. And it's supposed to, makes life interesting. Imagine what it felt like getting a letter from yourself at 17 sent to you when you were 22. Yeah, my high school government teacher thought that would be a neat lesson. Needless to say that 17 year old got a wrong number because I was not the person I expected to be in that letter. But I am exactly who I'm supposed to be. I very much enjoyed reading your story.

I guess it was a little too morbid. :) I'm not sure if I can thank you enough for reading the things I write and commenting on them. You have this amazing ability to say the thing I really need to hear. Thank You. I wasn’t surprised when I didn’t really get comments on this entry. I guess it was a little too morbid. :)

Funny how looking back on what I came from makes me appreciate where I am in this moment. And so today I realize that while I’m not done moving forward, at least I am making progress." It's possible to be content without being complacent. You know you're not where you want to be, but for now... it's enough. You can be happy even knowing that you haven't achieved your goals yet. Because during the course of achieving those goals, new ones will pop up. Once you've done all it is you want to do... well, hopefully you'll die soon after because life would kind of suck after that. Anyway. That was supposed to be an upper but it's starting to sound... Less So, so I'll just end with a *hug* and reiterate that you're one of the most charming, unique individuals I've come into contact with. And I notice most of MY friends are creeping over to your "friends of" page, so I guess my opinion must be shared by them to some extent. Heh. :P “Sometimes I get down on myself because I don’t have a degree, because I’m not where I want to be in my career, because I don’t have my dream house, for so many things…I just look at where I am and know that it is not where I want to be.
