Dear Fred,
Four years ago, I checked Facebook during Chemistry because I heard something had happened near the Tech School, and it was a slow day in class (as it always was). I saw his name and thought I recognized it. I texted Zo asking her. She didn't respond, and I started to slightly freak out because I didn't know what was going on but my gut told me something was very wrong. I didn't want to believe my gut. Four years ago, my Chemistry class let out, and I was walking down the hall with my good friend Nick. Zo texted me back and everything I knew in this world changed. I went into shock when I read the words, "My dad is dead." I didn't think I could face pre-calc and my teacher (not that I usually could, but specifically today was not the best day to try). Thankfully, Nick and I were right near the Guidance Counselors' offices, and he convinced me to go. I'm so thankful that he did. As I was sitting in the chair, waiting for my counselor, reality started to hit me. I hate reality.

I've been trying to figure out what my next blog post would be and so many things were flying through my mind but things got in the way. (AKA class's started up again.)
I recently read an article on the Odyssey, that site that you either love of hate. It was about a sport you left behind to continue on in your life. I couldn't help thinking how accurate it was in my life. So, let's talk about it =] Many of us have played a sport in our lifetime at least once. Some of us have played more. And by this I mean like on a team you committee to for a season. Happy 2016! I'm sorry I've been MIA for a while. Life threw a lot at me not to mention I had finals and then worked long hours over break. Different blog posts have been mulling around in my head but I just haven't written anything down. But I figured it was about time so, at this time of year, people are making resolutions for the remaining of the year and saying, "new year, new me/you." But what does that even mean? And does it even happen?
Many years I only make one resolution and let be real - they usually deal with health in some way whether dieting, losing weight, or working out. I'd be lying if I didn't want that for this year also. This year, I decided to make a few resolutions & they are: |
