We're All in This Together

So...retreat has made me think...

i've been pretty selfish these past years..thinking how can yg can help me and how can i experience more love from the yg rather than what i could do to help the yg and the girls who all look up to me as a senior ..as well as what i could GIVE to everyone to make yg a place of unity and family. 

therefore..i seek to change myself and to become a big sister and friend and to all those who may have saw me as an isolating senior who didn't care for them i'm apologize deeply and hope that you understand that I love all of you guys so much and have always wanted to get to know you guys so much better.  But of course i need you guys to help me out too..so SENIOR 06 lets do this and become the amazing seniors that we can be and hold up the awesome reputation that past years have given!!

haha quoting an underclassmen "you seniors are seeds with so much potential"

and underclassmen..please please please help us out too cause we really aren't intimidating..maybe a bit loud and obnoxious..but definately not scary or mean so if you EVER EVER want to talk to me online (sn: alasweetz)..or at yg..just come up to me..trust me i appreciate that more than you would ever think..cause truthfully i don't know that many people at church so i need people to talk to =) also give me your sns so i can talk to you guys online as well.

and if you guys are thinking "whatever..shes just on retreat high..she doesn't really mean it" stop being so cynical! and thats not true because i've wanted to get to know all you guys for longer than you know it.

also..if you guys have any advice for me to do to make this work ..please tell me..i don't get insulted easily..so you can really say anything and i won't put it against you

ok i'm done

Adveristy Brings Growth

"Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up"

To all my deferers and rejectioners..God will always have a plan for you..no matter what you believe you aren't a failure until you've simply stopped trying..so KEEP WORKING!!!

and to answer all your questions..no i didn't get in..but i'm still trying..so no pity comments because they are simply unnecessary

everyone needs to stop being so down..please..its really depressing

happy thanksgiving

one thing i have to say i am so thankful for are the couple of friends that have been by my side non stop this year.  you guys have been an amazing blessing in my life and have made me look at life in a much less cynical way.  without you guys i would be completely lost.  you know who you are..and know that i LOVE you with all of my heart and more =)
