I'm glad to welcome 2006!

     2005 wasn't the greatest year for me, actually it was a horrible year for me.  BUT, I did learn alot with all the mistakes and all the mishaps that have occured.  I learned that I am stronger than I think I am, I realized that I can be independent and not have to rely on other people for things, I learned who my real friends are, and I learned that there's so much more to life that will come, I just have to be patient.  I guess this year I've tried to grow up so fast that I forgot what reality was, I was so focused on becoming a person I could still be later on in life.  This year so much drama has occured, maybe the most drama that has ever occured in my whole 17 years of living, but with all that happened, I've just grown from it all.  Learning and accepting was probably the biggest challenge that I had come face to face with this year; but honestly I'm glad it all happened, because now I can move on, and now I can be wiser and stronger than I have ever been. 

     With this new year in hand, it's time to start off fresh, it's time to accomplish everything I couldn't do last year.  It's time to realize that in 6 months I will be graduating and enter the world of college.  But I'm ready, I'm ready for it all.  Bring on the work, bring on the challenges, whether or not it makes or breaks me, I'm up for everything.  I will continue with church, I will continue with school, I will continue everything that has brought a positive impact with me.  All I'm praying for this year is that everything will be better than last year.  I want this to be a year of fun and experiance. It's time to really just grow up and leave the immature nonsense behind.  Let the new year begin<3
