How a White Girl Does Life

November 30th, 2017 As this week started, I hate everything about it and mostly that I had a lab exam at 7am that I didn't want to deal with. Then my computer decided to die so I was 0-2 against the world this week but let me tell you the Lord was still working. I have had so much going on and so much worry with my pharmacy school application but here's the thing. I found out I have not one but two invitations for interviews. Like what? When I started down this road I doubted whether or not I could actually make it. Then with people making me feel bad about myself, I started to question myself even more. Then, I got these two emails and I realized that I can do this! I may not know how or what it will look like but the Lord is getting me through.

November 2nd, 2017 As I am sitting in communications this morning we are starting to discuss self-image and self-concept. While we are relating this to public speaking it got me thinking about how does it relate to me on a day to day basis. Since I grew up being called the fat girl; honestly I have never had a good outlook on myself growing up. I have since then grown out of it but I have days where I haven't. I feel that a lot of that comes from the season of my life I am in and how it is changing. Who I am is not defined in others. We shouldn't see it as one step forward and two steps backward. We have hopes, goals, and dreams and no one should be able to take that from us. I now have this idea that if you want to do something then do it. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't.
