Delirious with Happiness:

I can't describe in enough detail how exuberantly excited I am to receive an A + !!!! I just went from an emotional low to a emotional high with just one click of my mouse. My family actually said that they were proud of me!!!

My sister Heather said that she was PROUD of me!!!! I haven't heard her say that in an EXTREMELY long time. She said that she always knew that I could achieve good grades if I was only willing to work hard at it. She said that she was excited that her sister got an A + at Moody which is pretty hard to do!!! Of course this is only the grade on a paper, not my final grade, so I need to not count my chickens before they hatch.

I caught a glimpse into understanding my sister Heather while she was talking to me on the phone: It's not that she has never wanted me to do well, but when I wasn't taking my school seriously and was just "throwing my life away" that she kind just washed her hands of me {or tried to at least}, because as we know, a big sister can never stop caring and looking out for her little sister.

Now that I have successfully risen to the top of this little mole hill and have proven that I can get good grades at Moody I am now off to conquer a mountain; and that is getting A's as my final grades and getting accepted to Moody.

Even though there are days when I feel frustrated and I feel like giving up my dream of going to Moody, at the end of the day Moody is still the once place that I want to go. I can't explain what is drawing me there. I have tested and questioned my reasons for going and I have learned that it isn't that my entire family has gone there, or that my sister lives there, but it is something much more deeper and important. I genuinely feel that the Lord is leading me to Moody. I may not know why at the moment but I think that God has a reason for me to be there; I may not know what he has in store for my life but I need only trust Him every step of the way.

I am right now having to prove that I am worthy to get in to Moody, and as hard as it is I can honestly say that it has been good for me. This whole experience has taught me a lot. When I was younger school came easy for me, my family gave me almost everything I wanted, I was spoiled, but now I am learning the true value and worth of achieving things through hard work. If anything, not being accepted the first time has made me work harder at my school and I am sure that once I get in I am going to work hard to stay in because I want to prove to the people at Moody that I have what it takes to do well and to Succeed and that I am worthy to attend their school.
