Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking...
So I am not a Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana fan, But I really like her song 'The Climb'. It's so true and 100% applicable to my life. I have had to overcome quite a few things in my life, and this year, as a newly 19-year-old, I plan on putting every major obstacle that I will come across right directly in front of me and tackling it right away. I am so tired of putting things off until the last minute and then having to try to talk and explain my reasoning for not doing it and/or doing it so late. I am going to try my hardest to do my best at everything, and even though it might not be enough for some people, I will know it was the best I could have done so I cant be disappointed in myself. I am pledging to work out 3 times a week, update my blog once a week, keep in touch with old friends and pray everyday. I also want to pay off all my debts this year. My goal is to get rid of all my credit cards in the next 3 months, and to have my dirt bike paid off by the end of 2011. It will take a lot of willpower to put my extra money towards the bike instead of new clothes, but next year will be so much better when I only have a car and cell phone payment.
School, this is a confusing topic for me. I really want to be a lawyer and a personal trainer, but I am having a hard time wanting to apply myself at this point. I have been told a couple times that I should look into journalism, by some teachers and a friend, so I might look at studying the subject for awhile and seeing how I like it, and maybe using that as a job while I work on my law degree, because I know that will be expensive.However, I enjoy working full time and having the freedom of not going to school, but I know if I want to go anywhere in my life, I need to buckle down and get it happening. I am thinking of moving to Oregon City to live with my grandparents and going to school over there so that I can focus more on school and work than on helping my dad with the family. I am not sure what to do at this point, I am just working right now and focusing on racing.
I would love to be the fastest woman racer in the United States, and I hope that one day I can get to that point and prove that I am who I said I wanted to be. I have been doing my best to work out and stay on a healthy eating plan to get to my best racing abilities and my maximum potential. I was able to get all the weekends I need to go to all the race off from work, so that was a blessing that my boss was so understanding and willing to let me do that. It was such a relief to know that I can work and race without having to worry about anything.
I am truly blessed and lucky to have my job. Everyone is so great and fun to be around. They are some of the realest people I know and I feel like I've known them for a long time. I think that everyone should have a job like mine, it offers so many skills and trials, but nothing that one can't handle. It is a do-it-all job, so I get all kinds of experience at all different types of skills. I answer the phone, ring up customers, load the kilns, offer advice, help plan parties and get to meet some of the coolest people. I have been working here for almost 8 months and there isn't anything I cant handle here. I am a lucky girl!
Oh yes, I must mention that I am now 19. It was such a great birthday, one of the best ones I have ever had! I must say it feels great to be loved by so many people!
Also, I am leaving for Coalinga, California on Wednesday for a Western Hare Scrambles race. I just picked up all my new gear and a lowering bushing for my dirt bike. So hopefully between the shorter seat, the lowering bushing and maybe a little growth over the summer, I will be able to touch the ground and have a better ride than last year. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
This week has been a great one, and I hope all of you had a great week as well!
Until next time!
-Em
