Five of the Greatest Things That Have 

Happened My Freshman Year

(In no particular order)

1) Getting to know my best friend so much better: Well this is a good thing for obvious reasons. This was the first year that Elizabeth & I have really connected. We've had countless sleepovers which have made a plethora of memories, and for that I'm very thankful :) 

2) Developing into a much stronger Christian: While I still really need to work on doing my quiet times and relying on God for everything, I think that during this year, I've really come a long way on my Christian walk. I understand so much more about God and have even learned that the purpose of life is to glorify Him (1 Corinthians 10:31). It's been pretty great :)

3) Getting back into horseback riding: I rode for 4 years, but then had to quit for a while. But this year, I finally committed to getting back into the sport. I really think that God has blessed me with a passion for all things horses, and a growing ability in the art of riding, and I just feel fortunate that I am able to take advantage of that. I currently ride at two barns, and am re-training an injured TB named Josh who is really sweet, and a very good friend :) 

4) Having a good idea of my future: Just during these last few months, I've determined that I'd really love to have a career in either Early Elementary Education, or a teacher of kids with special needs. I think that God has equipped me to potentially succeed in these jobs, and so I'll try my best to make it happen! As long as my plans don't change.

5) Time Capsule: Lizzeth & I decided to create a time capsule filled with letters and memories from this year. We're planning on opening it after our senior year, and so hopefully we won't forget about it! It's a pretty neat idea, so I'm glad that we're following through with it.
