At the stroke of midnight on New Years' Day this year, among clinking glasses with my family and saying "Happy New Year!", my heart skipped a beat as I realized that this was the first year where everything was not planned in my life. For most of us, from kindergarten through 12th grade, we know what our plans are for the coming year. We will go to school, play sports, join clubs and hang out with friends and family. However, after 12th grade, it seems like life is up in the air, especially when you don't where you are going to college.
I have been busy the past few months with scholarship competitions, dual-enrollment courses, AP classes, dance classes, traveling and other miscellaneous activities. Through these activities, it has become very hard to write on this blog; however, I hope to keep writing as time goes on and things settle down. The good news is that now that I know which college I am going to and have accumulated some scholarships, I do have more time than I used to to write. The bad news - looking at it from a time and writing perspective - is that I'm getting a job in a month or two.
So I'm not sure where God is going to take me these next few months, but I hope that I'll start having more time to write!
God bless,
Emily Silverwing
