Time for some huge changes....

Wow. Just wow. That's all I keep saying to myself. So much in my life is changing. Richie and I are permanently relocating (we are in the process of finding a place), I am about to graduate from the Bosma Rehab for the Blind program on the 24th of this month, I think this morning I may have found a church, I have officially submitted my application to Ivy Tech and my FAFSA is complete, and I am going to be applying to be a volunteer at Bosma. I keep telling myself, breath Dawnetta, everything is going to be fine. I am suddenly feeling very overwhelmed with the things that are and will be happening in my life. I am ready to make something of myself and make my parents proud, and while I'm at it overcome some of my fears. I have never felt like I was special at anything. I was an ok drummer, an ok cook, an ok softball player. I want to excell, really excell at someting. And my hope is, that this time around I will excell in school and become a Vision Rehabilitation Therapist. I want to help people. I want to help them to get back to their lives or in some peoples cases get their lives started. Show them that blindness does not control you. You can overcome the obsticles that blindness can cause. That is my dream. I know this dream will take time and lots of hard work. My sister Casondra just sent me a text and said "You've got this!". She right. Now I just have to keep up my belief in myself. Breath through the stressful times and appreciate the easy times. I thank God everyday for the oppurtunities he has and is giving me. I have overcome a lot in the past 3 years, and I believe this is just the beginning of my journey. My story is just beginning...... *D*
