As a child you often say the words, "No! I can do it myself Mom, let me do it!"... Now that your an adult you begin to think the words,"Mom, just do it for me, make the decision for me" It is quite the change. You have your good and bad days and your good and bad decisions to make or break you. Thats the scary part, we aren't in elementary school anymore trying to decide what treat to pack in our lunch today or which of our hundreds of gadgets to take to show and tell. Nope, today I am actually making choices that will have an effect on my next 3 years of life. And that my friends, is scary as what I would have said in the fourth grade... "H.E. double hockey sticks."
Two years ago a girl named Danielle from Salt Lake made the decision that she wanted to move out and"see the world". So, she moved to good old Cedar City Utah. This was a very good choice indeed but a vegetarian, city girl an only hold out so long in a town with no mall and more talk of hunting than she can handle. It was time to see the bigger and better. She was able to make a decision on her own this time and inform her parents after (which actually went over better than expected). This change in "scenery" is going to be made at the end of her "so called summer" when she takes her suitcase, some of her best friends and her bathing suit to live in for 4 months in the land of pineapples and beautiful Polynesian men... Thats right. Hawaii. What more could a girl ask for? So, low and behold, one decision has been made. One she is very happy about. until then we are not exactly sure where she will be or what she will be doing. Her small country girl side just might kick in and she will stay in Cedar City this summer working at her job that she has grown to love more than is healthy for a collage job. But this all depends... We do know she will be finishing her pre-requisites by the end of this summer for the nursing program that she will apply for very soon. This dream of being a nurse has stayed strong while it has also completely kicked her butt (and is now throwing a tantrum in her face :) The dream will more than likely take her then to the city of lights, Las Vegas where she hopes to start the nursing program in July of 2009 at Touro University. (This is a private non-Government funded school so there will be an address attached accepting credit cards,cash and even checks made out to Danielle's dream fund:)
Will keep you all posted on how this portion of Danielle's crazy adventures pans out!
Love you all!
