Luck

Sometimes I wish I were lucky. This weekend I discovered that a few of the people I knew from middle school were doing spectacularly at our rival high school. I felt slightly jealous and wondered if going to Skyline would have raised my GPA or class rank because it is competitive. I wonder if I could have been more successful going to an indoor school and being a complete nerd at a school where I could not have been distracted by leadership and relationships and music.

But then I realize that it is all in perspective. I really am lucky. I have amazing friends and so little drama compared to what happens spending ten minutes with my old friends who go to Skyline now. I am happy that I stepped outside my shell to do ASB. I am proud to have done all the activities I have done for not a purely ambitious purpose. In fact I'm proud I'm not that ambitious, because it has forced me to find motivation for more meaningful reasons. And I always question my ambition at Issaquah so that I don't end up like Macbeth.

Either school would have provided me a similar experience. But God guided me to this point. I don't see why he would have led me to such a competitive group of students other than to teach me a lesson about perspective.

Patience. Perspective. Positivity. 3 Ps for my week!

All leading up to Precious!!!!!!

"The Tip of the Iceberg" - Owl City

Yeah I'm obsessed with Owl City on late nights doing homework. But it is sooooo stress relieving. It's interesting to think that I am probably only at the tip of my potential and wisdom. I'm excited for how much more I can learn, mature, and live.
