Life is full of ups and downs, loops and holes, yes's and no's, good's and bad's, bumps and crevices...it just never seems to end.
For some people, it seems things go smoothly. They're good at this, they're good at that...they slide right in to their nitch in life. Me.........not so much. With every new stage of my life, comes many bumps, many crevices, many holes, and many downs. My life looks like a piece of lace. Just when I think something is going smoothly, I fall in a hole. The bright side is, I can always look forward to another smooth spot....even if it is just for a little bit.
So recently, I decided it was time to move from a small fish in a small river to a small fish in the huge ocean. Its time to get serious about school..and my future. The river is the community college I've been attending for the past year. The ocean is the university where I will hopefully give the rest of my money from dear ol' Uncle Sam..all in an effort to receive a piece of paper. I applied...got all my transcripts sent.....and waited. Waited...and waited and waited. Finally a month passed and I received a call with questions about my high school diploma. High school! That was ten years ago! Well, that's a whole different story for a different time, but she said she would have to speak with her director and give me a call back. Although she never called me back, I randomly looked at the website today to see if they had made a decision because it sounded like I may not be admitted based on some questionable classes on my high school transcript. Well...it said approved.
Crazy how one little word can make such a huge difference in someone's life....
Crazy how I've been able to pull myself out of the darkest hole of my life...which was high school...and get to this point.
When I get to the next hole, I'll just make sure to look around better...because there is always a rope for me to pull myself out. I just need to take a deep breath and recognize it.
Go Mocs!
Yay!
