Anyway....
5 more great things that happened to me while I was 17:
1. I took my A.P. tests. I had been waiting for May 9th and May 15th for the longest time. Really ever since I knew that they existed. I remember getting up on May 9th being completely stressed out. It was one of the weirdest days I've ever had. However, I have never felt so relieved as I did on the days after my tests. It was amazing. I listened to a lot of this and this. I remember I just danced and screamed at the top of my lungs. I was done!
2. I finished my junior year with 4.0. I am really proud of myself for doing this. I went into my junior year with a lot of fear. I was afraid that I wasn't smart enough and that I couldn't work hard enough to really make it work. I was terrified of not proving myself. For me, regardless of what happens, I've already proven that I am capable of doing hard things.
3. I also had a fairly successful debate season. I placed a lot, and I learned a lot. I need to be careful not to discount my success even with my shortcomings at some tournaments, but I did take Region and place 2nd majority of the time. :)
4. I was on the track team. First year I didn't letter. Yep, that was tough. This spring was tough. But, I made some great friends and had some good runs. This was really the first time that I had a serious injury that I couldn't run on. I realized that I am very grateful I can run. I
5. A dear friend and role model of me passed away this spring. She was a leader at my church. This is really the first funeral I've been to that I remember. I include this in my year review because she was an important part of my life. I learned a lot from her, but I also learned a lot on how to live life. I'm grateful I had the privilege of knowing her, and I'm grateful that she is no longer in pain. God really does send tender mercies.
