So a little bit about me. I turned 18 a little over a month ago. Apparently I have always been mature for my age, but at the age of 18 I can hear my brain saying it knows everything about the world. I am a senior in high school and a sophomore in college (I duel-enrolled starting at the age of 16). I struggle not looking at my professor like their ignorant sometimes, especially when they don't know how to use a VHS player or turn on a projector.I'm sure it can make for some pretty interesting facial expressions sometimes; one side of my brain is saying it knows it all while the other side is insisting to keep my mouth shut lest I come across as a know-it-all-18-year-old. Both sides are very convincing let me tell you and my face shows what my mind is thinking.
Along with trying to graduate from high school and college, I am quite involved at my church (sadly not as much as I use to be since I have been trying to find a college, a job, and do some school work). Currently, I am a Kindergarten and First Grade Sunday School teacher (those kids are the bomb and they have as much energy as a bomb too), I work in the sound booth running slides and once in a while attempting to help in the sound area (it is better for me to be behind the mic than in front of it, I some how always make people laugh when in front of the mic), and I also am a leader in our T&T Awana group (these kids are also the bomb but they can control their energy just a tad bit better....but still just a tad). I use to be involved in the youth group band, but having a Wednesday night class unfortunately took me away from that, but it is where God wanted me to be.
But speaking of bands, I will go into my musical ability. Though not much to speak of (I still need a lot of work and dedicated teachers), I can play the piano and guitar (<--- this would be the one that isn't too much to speak of); proud owner of both, but I am an extremely proud owner of a keytar (more appropriately called a synthesizer but I still call it a keytar). I use to be in a band called Goodnight Saturday (look this band up, they will be famous someday). With much pain, I followed God's leading telling me to step down and focus on my dreams (still painful not being in the band but God has restored my energy so much). We had so many fun times and I am thankful for them all. Unlike a lot of garage bands we were able to travel; playing at schools, churches, waterfront mission, and even Chick-fli-a (spell check please?). There were some amazing times and we traveled as far as the middle-of-no-where Alabama.

| My Keytar! |
Biggest news lately in my life....college. Where to go, I don't know. I was never one of the people who always knew there was this one college where I wanted to go; I was the one kid who always knew what they wanted to do. I have always wanted to own my own small business where teenagers could hang out after school and not get in trouble. See, I was a military kid and I got a lot of freedom when I was 4-7 because we lived in Japan. Once we moved back to the States, my freedom was gone (how to confuse an 8 year old...give them less freedom than when they were four, it stinks!). Now I have spent most of my life in lukewarm-nothing-ever-happens Pensacola, Florida. The only place to hang out is Teen Challenge, great place but you have to be recovering from addiction or abuse to hang out there. So I want to offer a safe place for kids to come and hangout, have a good time, and government free....EXCEPT I took an accounting class. I know many people find accounting quite boring, but it is a puzzle in my head that just clicks. So now I am entertaining the idea of Forensic Accounting (everybody say ooOOoo). Yep, F.B.I. here I come...maybe? Still have not decided for sure what I want to do, but I want a college that would offer me a chance to explore. So all of this to say that this past Friday (so like, last night) I decided that I would go to University of South Alabama and become a Jag (not a big sports fan but hey- Go Jags!).
I think that covers most of some of the big stuff. Hopefully I will post again especially, in the next month. Quite a relaxing thing to do. Type to no one in particular, yet put it on the internet for everyone to read. Be careful what you post....(great advice to anyone who uses Facebook)
