Growing & Achieveing

Wow, spring semester has flown by fast. College is almost out for the summer for me. I am stoked to go tanning,, go swimming work on that farm, and just hang out. I have been busy with writing essay's and preparing for finals. I have achieved so much during this semester and my first year in a college. It will feel great to have a year of college in my poacket and a step closer towards my future. Always remember that you can achieve great things, as long as you give 100% to your goal and always do your best no matter what. There may be bumpy paths along the way but dont stress about that, move forward and learn from your mistakes. I can't wait to recieve my AA Degree in another year then go onto taking dental assisting classes. I want to acheve my goals to show I as a person can work hard and earn what I have put out towards my future. The plants have grown greatly ever since me and my partner planted them. I have watched them from a tiny seed to a healthy green plant that is eatable. It's amazing how time goes by and we all grow and become that person that we want to be. Just like a plant growing, humans grow also. Without valid proer care we crumble and get dissapointed until you get the right care to ecxel and go for a brighter future.

Then and Now

Wow, it seems as though just yesterday I was signing paperwork, attending Orientation, and ordering my books to start college. I have already taken so much away and have learned so many things I never thought I would have accomplished if not for taking this huge step in my life. I see everyday how much more the radishes and spinach my partner and I planted have grown. To see something that started as a seed, turn into a beautiful vegetable plant makes me think back to my first week of school and how much I have grown since then. I know some days were hotter than others and may have been overwhelming for our plants, just as it was at the beginning of the quarter for me. I definetly found some days to be better than others. Throughout the quarter I learned to manage my time and learned to take things one step at a time. This made my life easier and gave me room to improve other skills. I feel as though I have turned into something bigger and better already. I have watched my little girl grow with me through this wonderful experience as well. It is an awesome feeling to know that I am not only doing this for myself but for her future.

Week 9 and still growing!

The radishes and spinach my partner and I planted seem to be a success. They are now beautiful, full plants that you can see from the road. It is amazing how fast they grow in such a short amount of time. Everyday is a new day for our plants. They look different or are maybe leaning in a different direction depening on the sunlight it is taking in. I like to think that these plants will be something I can look back on over the years and be proud of. It is a great feeling of accomplishment to watch something I planted turn into something beautiful and full of life. That is what makes me smile.
