How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: It took me awhile to figure out that I was exactly where I needed to be. It came through trusting everything--everything--to God, and being patient and taking things one day at a time. Sacred Heart and PPWC became home, slowly but most surely, and it was hard to leave for the summer. But I know I'm going back, and that that's where I'm supposed to be, and that's where I'm happy. :) Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I went with a group from school to the inauguration...me and two million people, i couldn't even see the Capitol but the crowd was so energetic and friendly and excited. Such a fantastic experience. Read how I did it…

i’m going to the inauguration with a bunch of people from school—i cannot express how exciting this is, for this to be the first election i’ve voted in, for it to be SO historic and important, to be such a part of history and change and hope.
it’s also the birthday of two of my best friends! hooray!
