life.

MY INSPIRATION is the fact that life is too short.

My world view changes every day. I have major commitment issues—with everything. But I am completely committed to living my life by doing what makes me happy at the moment. If I want to go home to have dinner with my parents when I have a project due the next day, I'll do it. I've realized over the semester that a good personality, good interactions with people, determination, and the need/want to learn everything you possibly can is what will get me a job. I know that I'm not going to get a job related to my major, (no matter what my major ends up being) I just know it. I do know, however, that the right opportunity will come along and I will take it, whether it be a teaching position, or a man to marry that will take care of me. Family and best friends and learning everything you can while you are where you are is what is important, not grades. I know how to respect people and be responsible. I have acquired great organization, saving money, and people skills over the years, which, to me, is all that matters in life.

Though I have an amazing angel watching over me, I still wish Bird could be here to experience college.
I love you, Bird. You are my inspiration.
