SUMMER IS OVER. I simply cannot believe it. I wait all year for summer, but it's gone before I know it.
I'm going to miss the warm, sunny days. And I'm going to miss Girls' Camp, Nauvoo, doing visits with the missionaries, accompanying the Charlie Brown play with the youth here in town, my summer job, swimming at Sister Giroux's every week, all the free time we had on our hands, all the fun days spent with my wonderful family, and of course, our weekly temple trips every Friday at 10am.
It was awesome. I'm just so sad that it's over. I feel like crying.
But I don't have time for that, because Sophomore year, here I come! Buckle your seat belts, everybody....
This year, I'll be taking the following classes:
English II Pre-AP; Geometry Pre-AP; Chemistry Pre-AP; World History Pre-AP; Spanish I; Full Orchestra II (French Horn); Piano II; Comprehensive Musician II (Music Theory); and Vocal Technique I.
My school has concerts and recitals and State contests listed all over the school calender.
On top of school, I have:
Seminary, every morning at 6am; Night Academy with Dad on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 5:30- 7:30 pm; Church on Wednesday nights; Temple with Dad and Randy on Saturday mornings; and work on Saturday afternoons.
But wait, there's more:
Daily, I have to workout, do my house chores, my homework, practice my instruments, and always be working on a chapter book. I have to pray, read my scriptures, and write in my journal every day, too. I also have to work on my church callings as Mia-Maid President and assistant music chairperson. And I have to work on my Personal Progress book again since they added Virtue. I'm going to be doing missionary work all of the time, as well.
Right now, I'm thinking this is impossible. This is going to take a lot of work.
But I have a great support system:
My beautiful family, my church friends, and most importantly, my Heavenly Father.
My dad is going to give me a Priesthood blessing tonight. I'm so thankful for that. I really need it.
Mother will be taking me to Seminary every morning (we have to leave at 5:45am), and will drive me all the way to school, which is nearly an hour away. She's seven months pregnant, and has zero energy. But she's waking up at 5:30am to help me out. Now that's sacrifice.
Dad is sacrificing his nights for me. With Night Academy three nights out of five, church on Wednesdays, Temple on Saturdays, and not to mention every rehearsal and performance he'll have to drive me to.... He's doing a lot for me. He teases, "The pleasure is yours".
And of course, there's my Heavenly Father. He hears my prayers. He comforts me whenever I am in need of comfort. He has always been there whenever I need him, and He always will be. He is a true friend. How amazing it is to have Him cheering me on.
I'm so thankful for the wonderful summer that I had, and for the wonderful opportunity that I have to learn and progress this year. I hope and pray that I will do well.
Love, Laurabug
