My Heros...

My heroes are my parents. I look up to them as my role models. They help me become who I am. I would not be here today if it hadn't been for them. They are two very special people. My dad likes to have fun. He is very laid back and likes joking around. My mom is very independent and stable. She loves to cook and is probably the best cook I know. She bakes anything and loves to try out new recipes. My dad is a mortgage broker; he owns Crestar Mortgage. My parents have shown me who I want to be, and who I don't want to be. Nobodies parents are perfect. Mine aren't either. They have faults, and they do things that i don't necessarily want to do in my life. They go to church and are very family oriented. That is something I would like to continue into my adulthood. They also have a lot of debt. Most people in the world today are in debt. I understand that. I just don't want to be one of those people. I have the opportunity to go through college without student loans and get a good degree. I plan on finishing school with no debt and continuing that plan. I don't want to have credit cards, but if I need money, then I will go to the bank to get a loan. I can find several different ways of getting money that have a light at the end of the tunnel. I definitely want to be able to see that light.

This week has been very stressful. I have been trying to get caught up or even ahead on assignments, but it is just not working. I finally get caught up on one thing, but then the teacher throws something else at me. I usually don't worry about it much because I know it will get done. This weekend I have caught some kind of cold, hopefully not the flu. I am miserable. So I am getting nothing done this weekend except what is absolutely necessary. This blog, my first draft, and my ed 201 project are my main focuses. I missed a half a day of work which is also not like me. I work about 30 hours a week and go to school full time. I also teach Sunday School at my church every Sunday. I absolutely love it. It is really hard for me to find time to do homework and have fun. Sometimes I don't make the right decision and choose to have fun, but I am only 19. I think I am aloud to do that once in a while. I also have to dog sit for my friend this weekend. Oh well. I'll get over this cold and get my homework done. I just have to keep going along. At least the semester is already halfway over with.
