A Must Read

Good morrow, everyone. 

Jan. 03 Quadrantid Meteor Shower

I love skywatching. The minute I saw that we were going to have a meteor shower, I was so excited. I planned to wake up at 2 a.m. but ended up waking up an hour later. I was hoping to see at least one meteor. However, since I live in the city, I saw none. Thankfully, NASA has livestream videos. It's not the same as lying on the grass and looking up at the sky yourself but it was nice, too.

Auld Lang Syne, Times Gone By

It is 2012 already and 5 months until graduation. I wish that I didn't have to attend this bittersweet gathering because I'm afraid of what's ahead, honestly. You know that saying,

In fairy-tales, there are happy endings.

But in life, every ending is a new beginning.

2012. Year in, year out I feel the same no matter what. My resolution's always the same: to have the strength to conquer/overcome whatever trouble the new year brings and to remain optimistic.

Optimism has been a large contributor to my sanity. Therefore, I never want to lose hope. 

I was watching Soul Surfer the other day and I have to say, the film was quite inspiring. After the movie, I did some research on Bethany Hamilton and I'm just so proud of her for never giving up and losing hope. 

I'm proud that she persisted in doing what she loved most despite the challenges. 

I'm proud that she was able to remain optimistic after the shark incident.  

My 2012 Resolution:

1. Be Optimistic

2. Never Lose Hope

3. Get a 2100 on the SAT

4. Get into a good school.

5. Be Grateful.
