Endings

Upward Bound: Due to the government cutting the refunding of many upward bound across the world, FVCUB has been cut too. Saturday, May 19, 2012. The LAST SATURDAY meeting that this organization will have. I am glad to say that we had one more week together before it is all over, but it is not enough. Even though I am going away after this year anyway, I still want it to continue for other students. There are so much things that has happened to me since I joined upward bound.

Ever since I grew up, my own family has been going out and exploring places on our own. UB added to the family excursions. UB not only fed me with knowledge about the outside world, and my education, it gave me another family, to love and care about. For the four years that I have spent with the program, it has given me a brighter view of the world. I remember entering the program with a quiet voice and shy personality. Little did I know that I was going to change.

This change that has occurred in me came steadily. I can seriously say that I was naïve and young as a freshman. Many of the beliefs that I held were shallow, and most if it were close minded opinions. While I was growing in society and going through my mind development, I knew that my thoughts would change naturally. But I never knew that it would change in this way.

My mind and thoughts have opened a lot more since joining upward bound. My knowledge of things have been altered and I believe in a better way too. I want to thank UB for making that happen. I believe that I have become a smarter, stronger, and better person that I was four years ago. I am sad to leave UB, and devastated to leave the program as it is also ending. There are many words that I can use to describe the program, but one stands out more than any other:

HAPPINESS,

SUPPORT, FAMILY, RESOURCES, EDUCATION, CAREER.

Recital: My LAST RECITAL of this school year. I do not know if I will continue doing recitals in college, so I will count this as my last recital. My teacher MRS. SUTTER has been wonderful to me these past three years. I appreciate her generosity, care, and teaching me with the viola. This will definitely not be the last time that I will play the viola though. The joy of playing an instrument will always be in my life. <3 the Viola.

Blogging again!

So we finally got internet in the house again, and I think I will take up writing again. This time I will be trying to write more often, and I will be writing about anything and everything possible.

High School: has not ended yet, although I am happy to say that I am graduating, on June 7, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. at Appleton West High School. I can’t wait for SUMMER to come, and I definitely can not wait for COLLEGE to happen. I am a bit sad and scared of leaving home, but hey, NOW or NEVER right?

New thing, I want to spend my last days of high school happy and fun with all of my friends. This school year has been wonderful, and these past two years have been wonderful with my WEST FRIENDS. I am so happy to have known all of you, and you guys will always remain in my memories FOREVER. Also to my EAST FRIENDS, I will never forget any of you either, I would not be the same if I had not met some of you guys in ELEMENTARY or MIDDLE school. ALL of you guys will be my FRIENDS FOREVER!!!!

Another thing: my Teachers will always be remembered. Everyone of them made me who I am totally. If I had not known any of them, I would still be the same small, naïve little me. I still can say that I have a lot to learn, and am looking forward to meeting new teachers and broaden my horizon.

College: It still has not started, but I am really looking forward to it, so so much.

University of Minnesota-Twin Cities here I come (in August) :D = Honestly I can not wait. I know that there will be many surprises and it will be hard, but I can do it. I am a strong person and I can do it if I try.

Try: something that I have always done. I try. Everything that I do, I try. Trying is not so hard, I just have to care first, and I do care, about a lot of things, too. Trying can get me anywhere, as I have learned over time. From now on, I will always be trying because that is the kind of person that I am. I TRY.
