What a summer

It is hard to believe that summer is quickly coming to a close. What I thought would be the longest summer of my life has flown by in a blink of an eye. This has by far been the summer of the most growth and learning. I truly feel like a new person. Who I was just a couple months ago is not who I am today. The girl is not completely gone, but pieces of her are still intertwined in the depths of my being.

What has tought me the most this summer is my job as a Physical Therapy Technician and volunteering at the Children's Therapy Unit (although they considered me more of an intern which is a huge compliment). I have learned a lot from the people that I have had the opportunity to come in contact with. They have taught me a lot about life and what truly is important. I really cannot put in to words how grateful I am to have met such wonderful people. People who have fought in wars or simply those who have been though a lot of hard times but they still have a smile on their face. It is those people who have taught me what hope is.

I really do feel much more prepared as I embark upon another season in my life. I really don't know what to think or feel sometimes. Apply for Physical Therapy school is a bit scary to me. The next 6 months will decide what the 3 years after undergrad will look like. The biggest thing on my mind is the question of where. Where will I end up? I know that God will not send me any where He doesn't think I can handle, but I am still scared/worried. As long as I get in somewhere I know that 4 years from today I will be a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy. It is a little intimidating. I know it will all work out for the best...I guess I am just lacking a little bit in the faith department right now.

As of right now I find myself wishing more and more that I would find the strength to break free from my bondage. I feel trapped and it is starting to stress me out. At least in 2 weeks I will not be right in the midst of the caos...for a little while. Sadly enough...I find school to be a relief from my reality. For a few short months I get to live in my dreams. Dreams where there is peace. Where no one screams and yells, but most importantly a place where people listen to what I have to say. A place where I matter. I am so looking forward to returning to my dreamland soon. I am excited to be living in my dreamland with my eyes open.
