Yep, Summer is finally here. Ok, so it's been here for about two weeks, but that is not the point. This summer has already been off to a great start. To start things off, my family living in the Phillipines is here visiting. Not only are they here visiting but they are staying here with us. I love being able to spend time with my niece and nephew. My nephew is a NUT!!! I could seriously spend hours just watching his facial expressions, and trying to figure out how his brain works. He is so cute!! My niece is such a sweetheart. She is so proper, just to give an example, we were having dinner about two weeks ago and she started talking about a boy in her primary class. She said she didn't have a crush on him, but that he is very sweet and appropiate! Seriously, what 6 year old says that!! She is just so sweet. I love her so much!
Now, on to the rest of my summer thus far! Well, to start things off i have been talking to a really great friend! I forgot how much i missed talking to him. :) I am loving stay up late and being able to sleep in!
During school this year I took the CNA class and I am so glad I did. I sent my papers in this last friday so that I can get my test voucher and be able to take the tests I have to take. I am so excited! I can't wait to be able to get a job! With any luck I will be able to work with my best friend at the nursing home she works at (as a CNA as well).
I have a few goals for this summer they are:
~ Get SUN!!!
~ Swim Lots - I have a pool, I just need to use it!
~ Love Life
~ Get a Job
~ Have Fun!! - What is summer without fun??
~ Love going to Stake Girls Camp evne though stake is not my favorite! I love my ward!!
Two last things... This summer I am also going to be auditing an Anatomy class, I start tomorrow! I am super excited. You can definitely tell I am a nerd, what highschool student goes to a college class for FUN during their summer break, and will willingly take notes! That's right, This girls does!! :) I also took the ACT test a week ago! I want my scores so bad! I can't wait to see if i did better than last time I took it! I just am so impatient. Well thanks for reading! Have a great summer! I will try to post again soon! I won't wait as long as i have been waiting. (Hopefully)
I only have one more day of school, well if you don't count yearbook day! I am so excited! I am so sick of school, i haven't really been there mentally for about a month now. Life has been crazy lately. My sister-in-law, niece and nephew flew in from the Phillpines earlier this month, and they have been living with us! I have loved every minute of it! I love being able to be an aunt, and there is nothing better than your niece and nephew wanting to cuddle with you! It is so gratifying!
I will talk about school for a little bit more now. I have been in my highschool's anatomy and physiology class this year and before i say anything else let me just say how much i LOVE that class! It is seriously my very favorite class. Ok, so we had our finals in that class yes i did say finalsss. That was not an accident. My teacher gives us one so he has an idea of who will pass the state's final. So i hardly ever study, honstly because i haven't ever had to. So without studying i got a 78 on my teachers final. It was out of 100 but scored out of 90. I thought i was going to fail it. The average for that test was i think 60. So i felt pretty good about it! Then came the state's final. I still didn't study. In order to pass the test you had to get a 70%. In order to get a certificate you had to get above and 80%. I got a 91%!! Without studying! I am so impressed by myself. Only 2 people got over 90. Me and one other girl, she got a 99! Yeah, she is really smart. :) Anyway that is my exciting news in that class! I also took my english and math end of levels. Math were not so great. But i got a 89 on my english ones. So i am happy about that. So i am ending my final quarter of my Junior year with a much better GPA than any other quarters this year! I also took the CNA course this semester, and i got a 90 on my Final in that class so i get to certify! I am extremely excited abut that!!! :)
I don't really know what else to say other than i can't wait till school is over.
Well thanks for reading my blog, and sorry i am so bad at this lately!!
My spring break was great, it just went by WAY to fast! I didn't do very much except stay up WAY to late, and sleep in way to long! :) But isn't that what spring break is for. So, i don't have too much else to say about my break.
I am not really very good at keeping up on my blog, if you can't tell. I guess my life is pretty average so i don't really know what to make updates about... If anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them. Thanks. I guess that is it for this update. Sorry it is so boring. But thanks for reading it. I really appreciate it! I will try and be creative on my next post.
This weekend i have had the wonderful opportunity to watch the LDS 182 Annual General Conference. It was amazing. I am so grateful to be a member of this church. I know i say that a lot but i really am. I would like to take a minute to talk about some of my favorite quotes from the Apostles, and the Prophet.
- Elder Boyd K. Packer said this: "Children are the Inheritance of the Lord." I just love this quote because children really are so amazing. I love them.
- Elder Donald L. Hallstrom said: "being active in the Church is not enough, You much be active in the Gospel"
- Henry B. Eyring said: "When we experience trials, it is not necessarily because we did something wrong, but because they will "polish" us so we are ready to go back HOME."
- Jeffery R. Holland said: "We are ALL EQUAL in the sight of God."
- L Tom Perry said: 'The Book of Mormon is a tender mercy of the lord." This quote is so very true. He loves us so much, and the BOM is just a way that he has shown this too us.
I have so many more, but i hate reading long blog entries, so i will do my best not to write long ones. But i just know that i am so blessed to be a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is such a great blessing.
Thanks for reading. :)
Ok, so you have probably already read my short "About me" paragraph on the side. But i thought i would make a post about me too.
I don't want to go to detailed because i have no idea who is reading this, so i will stay pretty vague. But obviously i am Mandy. I am new to "blogging". I have a few interests. Some of which are:
- Medicine (The Subject, not the actual "Drug")
- School.
- Sleeping.
- Ok i know that this one is cheesy, but i do like to watch the kid TV show Arthur.
- I love anything to do with the human body. (yes this kind of goes along with the first one.)
- YW ( Young Women, The LDS church)
Now that you know a little bit about what i like. I guess could talk about each of them a little.
- Medicine: I honestly don't know why i like this subject so much. It just has always interested me. I think that the Human body is one amazing machine. And the Technology used to help that machine when it gets a little "slow" is miraculous. It is so cool to me. This subject is also what i would like to do with my self someday. I hope to become a Pediatric Doctor of some kind. So that is hopefully where i will end up one day.
- School: Yes i am fully aware of the fact that most teenagers are not huge fans of school. I on the other hand quite enjoy it. I love going to school and being able to learn something new. I really enjoy the challenge of school. Yes i do think it gets annoying sometimes. But all in all i like school.
- Sleeping: Do i really have to go into detail about this one. What teen doesn't like their beauty rest. Hello???
- Arthur: I honestly have no idea why i like this one. I just always have, and probably always will. What can i say, i am a child at heart.
- The Human Body: I pretty much already talked about this one in the Medicine paragraph.
- YW: As you have probably already read, i am indeed a Member of the LDS church. And one of my FAVORITE parts about this Gospel is the Young Women program. It really is a huge part of my life. So that is why i enjoy that so much.
Well, that sums up everything i mentioned. I hope that gives you a little more insight about me. Thanks for reading! : )
Its finally here! I have been waiting for spring break for, what feels like forever now. I am so desperately needing this break from school. I need this time to get caught up on my homework, however my life here in America is not near as stressful as my kindergarten Niece's end of year tests.
I have a lot to be grateful for. Just to list a few:
- Spring Break.
- A loving family.
- Being a Member of the LDS church.
- The pretty low-stress life i have.
- Great friends.
- Good Health.
The third one is EXTREMELY important to me. I am so grateful to know that i have so much to look forward too. I have the knowledge that lots of people lack. I get to become a strong young lady because of who i have grown up knowing. I have such strong Young Women leader, and i also have such a strong family who i can always look up too. Being a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has made me who i am today. I am eternally grateful to the Missionaries that came to my mom.
That last one is also really important to me. I have read some blogs of children who have serious medical conditions, and it just really shows me what i have to be grateful for. It shows me that the "big" things in my life could be so much BIGGER. I have never had to endure anything super hard. I have never been super sick (That i can remember.) I have really had a pretty easy life. : )
Well i am new to this whole blogging thing. I decided i wanted to do something out there. So, well here i am. I have convinced myself to join the "Blogging world". :) I can't guarantee how often i will post anything new, but i will try to do one at least once a week. So here you go... (Also bear with me while i get started, i might suck really bad for a while.)
