Lesson of the day: Plans don't really work
Well world, you got me. Turns out I'm not as tough and smart as I thought I was in High School. This summer after high school graduation has been an amazing three months of broken limbs, having three pay check jobs and two freelance jobs, losing the pay check jobs, losing friends, and being dropped from the AROTC scholarship list at Embry Riddle due to government funding cuts (in other words I wasn't good enough to lose money over.)
Having everything fall apart like that after an incalculable amount of time, effort, and emotion invested in my future was not how I planned senior year. After two weeks of bad decisions, and almost enlisting in the Air Force for 8 years, I gained my senses back and enrolled at Chandler Gilbert Community College, in the same classes I would be taking at Embry Riddle.
I learned to be flexible and trust in God. I will complete my freshman year at CGCC and transfer to Arizona State University. I have decided to keep fighting for my dream, no matter what gets in the way.
I wont learn to laugh about high school or freshman year for a while, but I quickly learned to love this new situation :) Keep your eyes open for the Semester summary post!
Happiness is up to you, not life.
