Hey, blogettes! Here are my goals for the year of 2014.
1. Get all the way healed from my cross country injury, even though meniscus tears don't heal on their own I am going to try and make it heal the best that it can because right now it really hurts anytime I walk and put full weight on it. Thanks for your prayers.
2. Keep on running no matter what is going on. I have had to take breaks on some days due to the injury but now injury or no injury I can't let it stop me from doing what I was made to do, which is running distance and fighting through the pain. However, I will respect the limits that I have because I am not reinjuring myself or making things worse. When the pain is unbearable I will stop.
3. Find a college with a good biology program and find out the requirements so you can start planning for them. I know I am only in middle school but college and a better future than what I am looking at right now with everything that has happened to me these past five years is a huge thing on my mind. Besides usually the sooner you get started thinking about college the better the outcome of your future because you have time to think about your options and choices.
4. Get back up from bullying. As you may have noticed this year, I am kind of down because of all of this bullying that has happened to me. However, these two high schoolers were more than willing to take their lunch break and free period to work with me on getting back to normal and overcoming this. It's hard, but they have also planned to use some of the things that have happened to me in the bullying seminar that they host for middle school students each spring every year. I also get to help plan some of it which is pretty cool. High school people are awesome in the program and very accepting of me and willing to help me whenever there is a problem. They always cheer me up and are there for me on my side too.
5. Prove to the choir teacher at my school that I am not mentally challenged. Yeah, she thought that about me and she pointed it out to some high school kids judging it based off of what I wear somedays, and how I talk and react to some things. Okay, so what we had a cross country meet that one time so I had to wear my gear into class otherwise I wouldn't make the bus on time because when in music I lose myself and I get to express myself. That is the only reason why I am in music because yeah she is rude to me. Oh, and you try having people judge you and tell you that you aren't good enough through anonymous notes and actions. That makes my make up smear sometimes and I end up looking like a hot mess.
6. Prove that I belong where I am and do what I do for a reason. If people don't respect me or wonder why I am still around then tough. God put me at Lisbon for a reason. He makes me do what I do for a reason too. Instead of questioning him I am going to trust and see where he takes me. Anywhere has got to be better than where I was in life. I mean it's sad when you have to go through all the bullying that I did and then be forced to have to find yourself over again.
7. Break my PR in cross country. Since I have already signed up for next season even though I got injured and am not supposed to be doing distance especially on a track, I have already made a goal to break my PR of the season which was 21 minutes and 15 seconds. It's going to be hard but I am sure that I can do it.
Anyways this is the short list that I have so far.
