Something to Ponder ...College Week

Reflection of the Past week

 Once again I am procrastinating. I procrastinated doing my math by reading a book, and now I am procrastinating doing my math by posting on this blog. Ha ha I guess I'll never learn that it is just easier to do things on-time.

Well this past week of visiting colleges proved to be the light at the end of a dreary tunnel of darkness. I nearly killed my last brain cell studying for finals. A week of college field trips was just what the doctor ordered to heal my malnourished brain.

I am going to be rather blunt. Brigham Young University was and is my favorite school visited because of the special spirit I felt there and the fact I have been raised in cougar town! 

However my opinion of the U of U have been changed for the better as I no longer view them as belonging to the devil. They have a really prodigious Library complete with fantastical womb chairs.

 As far as food court awards I think UVU took first place (they gave me free Jamba Juice.)

 All in all my over all favorite part was spending time with my classmates and watching our different relationships grow as we began to get to know each other better. Wonderful memories as well as inside jokes were formed that will never be forgotten... no matter how hard I try.

Each tour seemed to open my mind to the wonderful new pathway of college; which I will soon find myself traveling. The heavy questions of Who am I, what was I born to do, and what is stopping me have actually been on my mind more now then in any other time of my life. 

I have been wondering where I will be in the next ten years and the people that will be involved in my life. Will I still have the same friends? Will I be married to my high school crush? Will I have a cockapoo? are also part of the questions I have been seriously considering. 

Although I can not answer all of those questions now, I can begin to answer some.

Who am I?

I am Mikaela, thank you for asking.

 I am a daughter of God. I am shortstop for my softball team, and goalie for my soccer team. I am the older sister of 4 siblings that I love with all my heart! (especially you Ryan). I am soon to be graduated from High School, but for right now I am just trying to pass Algebra 2...(Yes I realize I am not a math person.), but most of all I am a person who loves life and I love waking up every morning alive. 

Now that I have successfully covered that one, let me answer the next allotted question...What was I born to do?

Hmmm, I'm not sure yet, but for right now I think I was born to write and help others find the gospel through the things that I write. I realize that I am not very proficient at this (especially with the grammical aspect of things), but it is something I find joy in doing. 

The last question; What is stopping me? That's easy. The fear to fail. The fear to be rejected. The fear to be different. THE FEAR. I am afraid. That is my biggest weakness and the main thing that I need to over come in this life time. I am thankful however that God loves me and will help me over come my phobia of fear. 

Keep your chins up an remember to not fear success.
