Growth.

"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela.

Today was difficult. I'm a tiny bit stressed out. I received an e-mail today about how much I have to improve my writing skills. I basically didn't get a job that I wanted because I don't know how to write effectively. This stinks because I value communication skills enormously.  If this guy doesn't think I can write he should hear me speak to people. I sound even dumber out loud. I decided that it is important to remember that plenty of other qualified applicants were applying and this is an opportunity for growth. Growth. Just yesterday I was saying how much I value these opportunities. It would be awfully hypocritical if I took it back now that I have said opportunity. 

 I'm just worried about it because I'm handing in my orientation application pretty soon. I want SOS so badly. I would be awesome at it. Promise. Hear that boss man...I said awesome. I would be great. It's an amazing opportunity to spend the summer here and work on those speaking skills of mine. It would also be a great way to meet awesome new people and have fun with the freshmen. I just want it so bad. Desire is ridiculously powerful. 

In regards to the previous NM quote. I still think using education to stop rape in the Congo is a good idea. Today I'm going to use my education to improve these writing skills of mine. Tomorrow I'm going to use my writing skills to change the world.
