I love school...

Let's be honest, school is hard sometimes!  This past week has been filled with assignments, presentations, papers, and quizzes that have tested me so much.  These next two weeks do not look much better either since I have more presentations, papers, and assignments coming up.  I feel like teachers just throw everything at you at the same time, and then you die because there is so much to do!  I love being able to learn new information and apply those teachings into my life.  My major classes are wonderful and have taught me so much about how I can truly help those around me.  I am grateful to know that I am in the major I need to be in because it all feels so right.  Having so many assignments due for all my classes at the same time is when I get frustrated with school.  I want to do well and do all I can to be the best I can be and receive good grades, but sometimes it just does not work out that way.  Even if I put in the effort and work, sometimes the result is not what you wanted.  College is wonderful though and I love the experiences I have been able to have.  You really have to come out of your comfort zone, and do things that you did not know you could do.  You are pushed to new limits, stretched, broken down, built up, and tired through the whole process.  Life can be tiring and hard, but I feel that you always come out of those experiences stronger with more knowledge.  I have learned through many lessons more about who I am, what I can handle and accomplish, and how I can get through challenges thrown my way.  Life is not always easy, but it is not supposed to be.  We would never grow and reach greater heights if we were not challenged and broken down sometimes.  I am grateful for the trials that I have and for being overwhelmed with school right now.  Not because I enjoy it or want it, but because I know the Lord knows I can handle it and that there are lessons for me to learn as I go through this time.  I just have to keep trying.
