dubs for dubs.

I am now a consider myself  a Pepin in a world of fields and sprints.

Explanation: Pepin was my bald soccer coach.The world is vast like a field. We have to sprint and hustle. Go big or Go home.

Long story short.Women for Women had a hair drive and Penny Smith and I shaved our heads for it. Penny is awesome.I was leaning in the direction of not shaving my head, and her decision influenced me enough that I reconsidered. I just wanted to make a difference in a child's life.There is no telling if the simple act of cutting off my hair will actually make a difference, but  I hope it does.Everyone keeps calling me a hero, it's  hard for me to see myself like that. I mean don't get me wrong I want to be a hero, I just have a really hard seeing myself in that way. I really just sat there.

I was on TV. I sounded like a Valley Girl. Note to self : stop saying totally.I'm going to attempt to sound a bit more intelligent as the semester continues.

Women For Women is slowly becoming my favorite organization on campus.I just have this deep belief in what it stands for.It's funny how college does that to people.


Becca thinks I'm a Hippie that cares about peace and changing the world. She says I am turning into someone new. The thing is  that I do not want to be anyone else.I can't be anyone else.I'm just Hailey, the girl who wants to change the world, be accepted and live my her own standards of success. Just me...hahai.

p.s.

The process was kinda gross.    



   

  

 

The results are beautiful. 

HAHAI.

Rebecca

This is Becca. She is my amazing younger sister. She has made me the person I am in so many ways I feel I could never ever write them all down .Being at college has put a whole eight hours between my life and her's. It is outrageously difficult to be without her. I am trying as hard as I can to be there for her through the trials and tribulations of her senior year year of high school, but I feel like I am missing a ton. I think that as we both grow into different people, we are trying desperately to stay close together. I am trying my hardest to develop into someone that people can trust, learn from and have fun with.SHe is the reason I want to be that way. I remember always that she is my first priority.Rebecca is my partner in crime,my best friend. My sister really is my whole world sometimes. I couldn't be there for her today at districts and I'm not sure how I can handle that. Even when she isn't here she is in my laugh and in my heart. She is this huge part of me.We may not always get along and she may want different things out of this life then I do,but at the end of the day we are sisters .She has my heart. <3 forever.

Collectively today was not amazing. Though today I  did discover some amazing things about people I know.

1) If I am a having a terrible day, which never happens, my kind English teacher allows me to leave class early.
2) My friend Agnes and roommate Kim are really quite good at helping put myself back together.
3) Sometimes it real does help to talk about it. Sometimes.
4) If Megan P. was a dog she would always be wagging her tail.
5) I will be on SOS.. Not this year, but I will I promise.
6) The quiet girl is the bravest girl I know.

As you can probably tell today kinda snowballed into a bad day.Then I found my ID, talked to my roommate and Agnes,had a two minute conversation with a friend, and pulled myself back to a place where I can find a smile in this shit day. It is okay. I will do great things.
This is Nicole Maxwell. She is the prettiest girl I know.I would not be who I am without her. I am not saying that I am the greatest person ever,but most of the things that make me awesome are the reasons she is amazing. When she laughs I want to laugh and when she cries I want to cry.I consider myself as weak and she is strong.She has real joy in her laugh and a beautiful soul. She is humble and even when she falls apart, it is the most beautiful collection of broken pieces I have ever seen. I miss and love her.

Today.

Today I again felt the need to read, listen and know everything. If there is one thing that I have been feeling an incredible amount of lately it is the need to expand the walls of my mind and open my soul.I want so badly to be brilliant. I have met a couple of people who I consider beyond brilliant.They never fail to amaze me. i wonder how they have done it. I was told once by a brilliant one, perhaps the most intellectual of all the brilliant ones, that I too was brilliant.Unknowingly this this person gave me a confidence unlike anything else I have felt before. She has changed my life and for that I am forever thankful to her.This is the type of confidence I want to be able to bestow in people with my degree in psychology.I don't exactly have a plan yet,I just know that I want to get people excited about living their lives, to make people believe in all that they are capable of.

Somedays...

Some days I feel like I could conquer the whole entire world. It has happened a whole bunch lately. I spent all of last week feeling amazing.I felt like I was capable of anything. I feel this way because of someone truly amazing. I look at them and I see uncommon perfection.I see faith, I see greatness, I see acceptance and strength.It isn't even that I want to be this person.This person makes me feel like I could be an awesome person as myself, like I am special. I want more then anything to be able to effect people like that, to make everyone feel like they can take on the world.I want to make people feel like I am personally rooting for them without saying a word. For Love...I Am...HAHAI

Happy are those.

I,Hailey Schroeder, have a bunch of questions. Today's question is...

Why am I so lucky?

I am one of the lucky ones. I am in college, which I love. Opportunity after opportunity has been thrown at me. I am encouraged by my peers and criticized only by those who truly care for me. I have had the pleasure of meeting really amazing people,so many I cannot even begin to count. I am sometimes so completely overwhelmed with love for my life I do not want to rest. I want to blog about everything I love, my love of music, my cry for acceptance, my shoes, my amazing roommate and my belief in the truth.I believe that in the truth we can find beauty and change.This blog is look into my story. A story that is undefined, unpredictable, and some what insignificant.I am Hailey because I choose to be.I will be great because I chose to be. Everyday is mine.I choose to live this life, to be myself and never be afraid to color out side the lines.
