Student Teacher

Every once in a while, we get a student teacher that helps out in band/choir/etc. The last one we had was... okay, just a little harder to get along with. She was good; she knew what she was talking about. Anyways, this year, we have a student teacher again. I'm not in any of these classes this semester, however, I do go into the band room during piano, which is during my lunch. Usually, I cannot wait for the student teacher to leave. It's just easier with our regular director. This year, though, she is fabulous! I am so sad that this is her last week. I hope I get to keep in touch with her. I know she will be a wonderful teacher someday. She is the kind of person that when you first meet her, you feel like you've known her your whole life. She's incredible. Friday is her last day and I'll be so sad to see her go. I am so thankful that our paths crossed, though. Best of wishes to her! 

College

I am so stressed out about this college stuff! Why can't I find scholarships to help me? I can't decide where I want to go because I don't know if the money will be there or not. It's so aggravating. It's hard enough to choose. What if I don't choose the right school and hate it? What if I pay all this money for something that's not even going to help me in the future? Will choosing one school instead of another change my life for the better or for the worse? I don't want to make this decision. Someone else make it for me. Everyone says it's what I want to do. Well, I don't know what I want! I want to go to this school for that reason and that school for this reason. What reason is stronger? I HAVE NO IDEA! It's all so overwhelming. I have to deal with this and two honors classes, a college class, and a regular class this semester. Teachers at school say we should have this figured out. How can I have it figured out if I don't know what kind of money I'll have? Juggling school, work, and life decisions, it's no wonder us teens are so stressed out and moody. 

Thanksgiving Month

Guess what, everyone! November is coming quick and it's time for the annual challenge! The Thanksgiving Challenge. One of my very good friends decided a few years ago, that every day in November, we should pick something to be thankful for. Every day. Even when life is so tough, we can always find something we are thankful for! I challenge each and every one of you to be thankful for at least one thing every day in November! I will post mine, hopefully, on facebook! I hope everyone participates this year! We always associate November or Thanksgiving with food. Let's remember the real meaning this year! (:
