Basketball

Basketball is an extremely physical sport.  Somebody on our team always gets hurt every year!  This year I am hoping to break the chain.  Our team has the potential to go very far if we just work at it.  And when you work for what you want, you'll go as far as you let yourself. 

We had a tournament in Richfield this weekend, we played two games, Milford on friday and Bryce Valley Saturday.  Let me just say Friday was a bit rough.  I know it was our first game of the season and let me tell you, you could definatly tell!!  Our defense was so lazy and lax, out offense was rushed and sloppy, it was just.....rough.

Saturday night came around and we were ready to play.  Just as nervous as the game before, we all huddle up and say our chant.  I felt different.  I felt like it was time to show our fans that we are better than what we showed them on Friday. 

The whistle blows, MT jumps, the possesion is ours.  We make our first basket and hustle back on defense.  Everyone could already tell the difference in our team already.  As the game went on the score stayed a pretty close but in the end we lost by ten.  But that is AMAZING because they have been in the state championship game for like 4 years in a row!  We worked our tails off, and it paid off!

Getting everything ready for college is so stressful, especially when you can't get higher than a 17 on your darn ACT!  The money is already stressing me out enough and now that I got my ACT score back I'm even more stressed!  I have such good grades and I try so hard to do my best and then I get let down.  But I am not going to let that stop me!  I know that if I try my absolute hardest and do all my homework, college will be easy for me.  You don't really have to be smart to do good in college, you just can't be lazy and you have to be ambitious, and I am very ambitious and not too lazy.  I can get the job done when I put my mind to it, and I am willing to do everything I can to accomplish my goal.

I want to become a nurse after college, and nursing requires a lot of dedication and hard work.  I love helping people, and making them feel better, so what bette job could I ask for!  Blood doesn't freak me out too bad so I'm pretty sure I'm going to become a RN and see how that works out.

Family

This weekend was probably one of the best weekends I've had in forever!  I got to spend time with my family including my sister! I'm sad that she wasn't here for my actual birthday but that made me realize how much my family really means to me! Without them I would be lost. I love them all so much and appreciate everything they do for me.  I just wish I could show and prove it to them.  I know I don't really show it but I want them to know how much they mean to me!  In so thankful that they're a part of my life.  I love how much they want me to succeed in life and how much they support me in everything I want for myself.  They have faith that I'll go far and that motivates me to want to succeed, and try my best to get as far as I can.
