Woke up at 11am... going to sit around, leave by 1pm to get to the library to set up for the officers' council meeting for key club... that should last from 2-3:30 approximately and then come home... and do nothing tonight unles one of my friends miraculously calls me to do something... i am in the modd for the coffeehouse, playing cards.. hmm, maybe I should initiate it. Robbie came over for about half an hour and watched some college football, talked to my dad and such. He got the big speech of, "We don't offer this to many of Meghan's friends, but you are one fo them... you are welcome to just knock on the door and walk right in, don't wait for an invitation, also you are welcome here ANYTIME.. you understand" "yes sir"... "ok good"... haha. i love my parents. well, nothing else, oh yeah, i guess dinner with the grandparents and brother tonight, which is another reason for me getting out of the house.

i hate it when someone earlier that day says, "I'll call u when I get out of work around 9..." so u sit around, say no to friends who ask if u can do anything, and then it is getting later and later.... and no call yet. So maybe he went home to take a shower first, or maybe he realized that ash is not here so he doesn't want to go out... we only have till 10:30 bc i need to be home by 10:45 so he can get home by 11... which gives us 1 hour if he leaves his house now... which he isn't... this curfew sucks, what sucks even more is this damn waiting, not even knowing if we are going do anything. I'll give him till 9:30 then i'll call....I hate undefined plans.... one of my pet peeves. I love spur of the moment stuff but when something is PLANNED, I like it to stay to schedual.

Ok, so he's coming over to chill.

HELL YEAH!!!! That's right, Hershey is now NUMBER 1!! So my lil superstitious thing with writing GOOD LUCK TROJANS, how i was all afraid that writing it twice would jinx them.... ooo it totally gave them even better luck, well not luck, cuz winning the game IS NOT based on luck. AWESOME game, the spirit, the energy, the skill, the determination.... oh man, soooo great! I mean, come onnnnn, we beat the fuckin undefeated team LD! Hello? If anyone in school says, "oh our team sucks" i will personally shove it up their ass. I promised to eat one of those hot peppers, hah we got some of the cheeerleaders to do it, I thought they were gonna cry. I didn't eat one, but I will.... as long as there is milk nearby. What else....oh yeah Coach May pulled me aside after the game and gave me two football t shirts (large, haha I'll be swimming in it) and told me to tell chuck that he wants ME down at the football practices from now on! ahhh, ok so I have to give up my babysitting job for a month or so, orrrrr, longer.... cuz Hershey is gonna make it all the way right?! But I don't mind not earning $40 a week, it is for the TEAM (so I will just temporarily postpone my social life I didn't really have anyways), and besides, it's not like i could say no to coach may. good times indeed.,/p>

Today: took those blasted SATs and Lindsay Hom and I agreed that they were much easier this year than last. In a few I am going to watch the MIAMI/FLORIDA game woohoo! hmm, who to root for? give me a call this weekend, i'm around. (except 1-4 sunday, darn key club ocm)

leaving in 30 min... crossing fingers we win. it is sad that study hall was the highlight of my day. Good times with tim and li. My back still hurts so if i have time before the game i think i will heat it. In psych we are learning about subliminal messages.... coool absolutely weird stuff..... sick ppl those advertisers are... sex everywhere! just u don't see it, ti is below our absoulte threshold but subconciously it processes and influences us.... mr steelman is obsessed with freud so we will be doing that stuff for a while. I will never look at a magazine the same! senor wasn't there to preach to us today, thank goodness. Bio test wasn't HARD but i think i made a bunch of stupid mistakes. physics sucks again. not much else, 3 day weekend, and nothing to do.... tis all for now folks, i'm out.

While getting ready in the morning, with college only months away, I look into the mirror at the person I have become. I see a girl grown into a young woman I can admire, someone I can be proud of. I am not ashamed of saying, “This is me.” Although I am not perfect, I can say that what others see is the true me. Beside me in my reflection I see a camera, a bag and an open door./p>

“Hurry up and take the picture, I can’t stand like this forever!” My life has been full of picture worthy moments. From backstage of the concert hall to the outdoors at a carwash, the pictures of my life tell a story about a girl who imagines and hopes. From the age of five, my photo albums were filled with smiles and blistered feet that showed the endless hours spent in leotards at Amherst Ballet. For 11 years of my life this is all there was. Even the ordinary family vacation disappeared once I started dancing. Unlike other families, mine stayed at home all year round to bring me to rehearsals, summer camps, and performances. These hours spent in the dance studio, dressing rooms, backstage and a few precious hours onstage lasted until the end of my sophomore year. My family moved to Hershey, Pennsylvania, but my dancing days did not. When I moved to Hershey, my photo album took on a new direction. The motif changed to community service projects, football games and lacrosse. The camera now captures many close friendships, a student athletic trainer, and a lacrosse player. The pictures, however, still show a girl with determination and a dream.

Nothing has kept me from pursuing my dreams, however, I feel more prepared treading down the road of life when I have the resources to handle the small potholes. Wherever I go I carry a purse containing a few things that smooth out the ride over those small bumps. Reaching a hand into my purse is like reaching into my comfort zone. A container of skin cream, chap stick, a pen, a water bottle, my keys, wallet, and cell phone accompany me. Being ready for the little surprises, such as a sudden thirst or a change in evening plans, makes it easier to deal with life's larger unexpected turns.

Although life has thrown my family many twists, we have remained strong because my parents have kept all of the doors open. The door of communication invites us to talk about our concerns, worries and opinions, while we can also give comfort, help, and build trust. Trust is the secret ingredient in my family. Our trust in one another has taught me to trust others more than is expected. Another door, the door of opportunity, opened when I was born. Being adopted from South Korea was only the beginning. My parents have kept that door open, believing that I can do anything. Through hard times, the door of love has never shut. This taught me to persevere, and never give up in anything or anyone. My parents have also propped open the door to our home for my friends. Whether they need someone to listen or to bake them cookies, my friends know that they can walk into my house anytime.

Life is full of choosing paths, making mistakes and learning from all these experiences. With my camera, purse and open doors, I feel confident in making those tough decisions in life.
