I feel like today I had an epiphany. Today in AVID we read and article about what colleges are looking for in college application essays. They want you to get deep down and personal. So what that you're smart and can wing a football down the field 80 yards, they want to know you. For the majority of my high school career that colleges just want to how smart you are and things of that nature. They actually want to know you're personality. What things in life make you who you are? What can you bring to the table as a student in their college? I guess to answer that question you actually have to analyze experiences in your life that have contributed to your being.
That whole idea opened my eyes. I need to start actually paying attention to what happens in my life to tell the world about it, or in this case the college I'll be attending. I really need to appreciate the events that take place in my life, good or bad. All things that have happened happened for a reason. I believe God definitely has a plan for my life and I just have to follow his will. If I hold up my part of the bargain, He will do the rest.
I like that idea, but remember, God also wants you to do a little of the work yourself :) I'm glad you were paying attention and found it beneficial.
