Okay so, here it is- my blog, the one thing I avoided because I’m such a terrible journaler.. I owe that to my attention span worthy of a gnat. Oh well, life moves on… So people have been bugging me to get a blog for ages so here it is- my submission to not so terrible peer pressure. I think this may be a good way to release my little emotional outburts ( whether sane or insane) on something other than a person. No one person needs to feel the brunt of my rants– thus is my reason for starting a BLOG!
So let me tell you a tiny bit about myself. I just turned 19 and I live in the slow hell that I like to call Lake Ariel, PA- it’s right outside of Scranton. I go to the Scranton Preparatory School and I’m trudging my way through the second semester of my senior year. Overall Prep isn’t half bad… i’m just, done with high school at this point, if you get my drift. I’m a dancer, I love broadway and all musicals, I have a great time teaching a great group of munchkins in CCD at my church and I love my family more than anything!
I’m ususally a pretty optimistic and upbeat person, however I may rant alot in this blog… so you all may be often subject to my not sooptimistic side… so forwarning.
Lots of people have been asking what my plans are for after high school.. well I’ll tell you now- Get readddy!!
Yes, I went to a college Prep school, but I wont’ be going straight to college! (this may shock and appall you) haha- God and I have different plans. I’ve asked to enter the Salesian Sisters of St John Bosco, and God willing I will be entering the convent on August 4th 2007! Nothing like breaking the mold of a prep school kid like entering the convent right out of high school! It will be a challenge, but one that I am willing to take on wholeheartedly. What better than to be counter cultural in a world so needy of change?
You ask: “Why would you do such a crazy thing!?”.. well, if you knew what I knew, and you felt what I felt… you’d be making the same crazy decision that I am! Everyone searches for that one thing in like that will complete them, that one this that will sustain a level of happiness and fill that “God sized vacuum” People sometimes take their whole lives to satisfy this void. I’m so happy to say that I have found my one thing, the one thing that completes who I am, and who I’m meant to be. I want to give of myself completely, with no reservations, to God through the young and the poor. There is nothing that would make me happier. No, I have not made a simple job choice, but a complete lifestyle choice that transcends from this life to the next. I may only be 19, but I know what I’m doing, and why I’m doing it. I’m doing it because I’m meant to, I’m doing this because God wants me too, and I’m with Him on this one, so here it goes- ALL or nothing!
