all good things

yesterday marked the last event of my time coordinating recruiting events with the ambassadors. i have absolutely loved  doing this. i have learned more about myself doing events than i ever thought possible. i have learned to be positive and flexible when things get stressful. it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my college life. i have never laughed so much, cried (a little), been so tired, and spent so much time on campus. i'm going to miss laughing over "food shooters", "billboards", abbreviated names, "the crescendo", check bags, and song lyrics. after over 20 events together, i have truly loved the relationships i have been able to form with ambassadors and admissions staff.

but, it's true. all good things eventually come to an end. which is why i say...bring on my next ambassador adventure, i'm ready!

facing fear

yesterday in PA meeting, we had an inspiring leadership lesson from our advisor about decisions and fear.

these are some thoughts i wrote down from the lesson:

sometimes fear holds us back from making decisions. but why? when people push you into a place where fear takes over, look at your options. think about your biggest fear. what is the worst case scenario with this fear? walk through it. there is always another option. sometimes your worst case scenario ends up bringing the greatest opportunities.

listen to your HEART and MIND but let your FEARS help shape your decisions.


where was that one week ago?!
this week...
i've learned that making decisions is difficult for me.
i've learned that, as hard as it is, it's impossible to please everyone.
i've learned that prayer works.
i've learned (or remembered) that i am surrounded by impressive and supportive people.
i've learned that taking a risk is important.

i've decided to face my fears.

i'm not at a worst case scenario right now, i'm at a BEST case scenario. that doesn't mean i'm not afraid about what's next, it just means that i have to not let fear get in the way of  moving forward.

what is one of your fears? join with me in not letting it limit your progression!
