Today's Fun

My brother is home with us here in the Quad Cities from all the way from Tennessee and while he's here with us today's fun is playing soccer with me from our back yard. We were just playing soccer for fun, not as a game. It was really fun for the both of us. I did so well and I did power kicking at the speed of light as I like to call it. Today's fun doesn't stop there while playing soccer with my brother there were some laughter that were exchanged and I think the both of us are pretty competitive even it's not a game by keeping score. This really is a physical activity and I know it is and with my brother he did an amazing job with his kicking tricks and skills and this was so much fun for the both of us. The take a way of today's fun is don't ever give up even the little things and you will succeed no matter where life takes you.

  

Completed RISE & RISE Up

 After six semesters I graduated from my Early Childhood Education major as my concentration. I am officially completed RISE for two years and RISE Up for year 3. RISE Up was taking more steps independently with less support. I learned very well and I did so well spiritually and now independently. I'm so thankful for all the RISE staff and if anybody's lives are changed you can believe there is nothing impossible. This is the right place to be because it changes lives because it changed mine spiritually.

This Week

 During this whole week for midterms it was the most successful than I had known. Being in RISE Up it's not necessary for taking any exams or anything like that. In one of my classes early in the week we were shopping at a store and we did this ourselves and it did took me more time because the store where we were is not local. We were at Jewell Osco I didn't know where everything was and when I was able to get the handle of it and it did went well than I anticipated.  The next day all of us with my classmates we were presenting about our own career clusters. Mine was Medical Assistants and eventually I knew I was ready to give the presentation. This was amazing. Today in class we had our last class for midterms and all of us were making a meal for lunch. Today I heard before dismissing class I am happy to say I passed midterms! I made a veggie tray, this included some fruits, cheese, crackers, and carrots. It was amazing and in class we gave these to some of the RISE staff and is loving it. As God loves me the more I trust Him.
