Growing up!!

Wow!  I didn't realize that I have not blogged in so long. But as you can see from my lack of blogging, I've been busy. After January, life got crazy. My mom moved in with me, and I am taking care of her, I was working, attending class, and doing church things. So those are my reasons.

So since January, I have continued on my hair journey and realized more about it. I have gotten the pre-teaching of the year award and graduated from college!!! HIP HIP HURRAY!!!

I've taken, and passed one CSET (general science 118) Hip Hip HURRAY!!! And I took and did not pass the other (errr!!) But I will when I take it again.

I've gotten admitted into the Santa Clara University Credential Program. HIP HIP HURRAY!!!! And so I will begin classes in July (no long summer break for me : /)

I am well on my way to becoming a teacher!!! I want to cry because I am so proud of myself. Lord knows God, family, friends, SCU staff and professors have helped me, but I did it! And I had a lot of drama and issues in my 4 years! I am so happy and so very very blessed!

 So I'm thinking of starting a blog for my student teaching...who knows. 

I want to leave my 7 followers (and all who may stop by) with this. As I graduated, I realized how scary succeeding actually is. There is a new pressure that is put upon you. This is not a boo hoo session, but it came as a surprise for me. There is something scary about going after your dream, and it reminded me of this poem. I truly understand it now. No matter how scary going after your dream may be, go for it! For it really does help to liberate others : )

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. 

It is our light, not our darkness

That most frightens us.

We ask ourselves

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be? 

You are a child of God.

Your playing small 

Does not serve the world. 

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking 

So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, 

As children do. 

We were born to make manifest 

The glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; 

It's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, 

We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. 

As we're liberated from our own fear, 

Our presence automatically liberates others.
