Being Sappy and Whatnot

I've been back in school for about a week now, and wow is it crazy already!! On top of 5 AP classes, I'm going to be a  Link Crew leader, Wyldlife leader, Honor Council Member, started two school clubs, and I just finished registering for the ACT... My schedule is jam-packed (as always), and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I want to take a minute to just be thankful for the people I'm surrounded with. There are some pretty amazing people in my life, and there's no doubt in my mind that God placed them there. Whether it be stuck on a bus for 3 hours laughing until we cried, dancing our hearts out in front of 80 freshmen, stuffing our faces with chicken fries and icees, or running around all afternoon in weird costumes to "It's Always a Good Time", I almost always have a smile on my face (which is not something I would have said a year or two ago).

I truly believe that by surrounding myself with quality, Jesus-loving, caring people, I can become the person I'm supposed to be. Every day I am encouraged to be brave and happy and honest. I am truly loving life right now and I'm giving that all up to God!

xoxo,
Rachel
