Happiness.

I title this post one word because that's how I feel right now. Honestly. Although it may be a little deceiving, it's true. I am one happy individual!

No, I will not be a little devil next year. And no, I am not sad, disappointed, needing hugs, or any of that negative stuff. I am very excited and feeling a little challenged.

I have two renowned school to choose from that offer me two very different avenues. Wake Forest University offers me acceptance into medical school my sophomore year with no MCATs as well as free study abroad opportunities. I find out mid April if I have won a scholarship there. The cost to go to wake is more than duke... $58,000 to be exact... Chapel Hill offers me credits for almost every AP exam I have taken. That would make me a sophomore there. They are also mid city and I love the city. I don't like how the teacher and student interaction is not one on one as much and wake does offer me that.

I have so tough decisions and my work cut out for me. So, I have no tears for duke. As I told my mom at 5:50 when she asked me if I really wanted to know:
"what is meant to happen, will happen, and either way, I am going big places. I've done all I could do without stalking them (duke). I've tried my best and that's enough for me."

I want to take a moment to say something and to me, this is the most important part of this post. Last night, the out reach of support I felt was amazing, and such an inspiration. A really good friend of mine who I volunteer with emailed me expressing how I was his role model and how he admired me. It was a very personal and emotional message for me that even made me cry. I don't think of myself as someone important, but the fact that so many people care for me and love me truly humbles me. I am so grateful and blessed and speechless for the amazing support group I have that include family, friends, coworkers, fellow volunteers and just people who know my family. I couldn't have gotten this far without you. I really mean it. I wish I could personally tell everyone how grateful I am for their support during this time in my life but I never realized till now how many people cared. A special thanks to my soccer team who dealt with my rage on the field tonight and gave me huge hugs after we won 6 to 1.

I also had another thing happen last night that was really touching. I had a friend realize that this is gods plan for his life not his plan. The even bigger thing was my blog helped him realize this. I really believe this is what god wants for me.

I love you all. Smile.
