green.

{green shoes today}

green makes me happy.
its always been my favorite color since I was a little girl.

lately I've been thinking about me. my life. where I've been. where I'm going. the people who have made me who i am. the experiences i have had that have made me who I am. how blessed I am.

there truly have been so many people who have touched my life. there are too many to name. but to name a few that stand out from past years.

*mr. rentz- {my 9th grade student council advisor} He taught me that i can do anything i set my mind to. i can do great things. i can be who i want to be-i just have to act upon it. he taught me to have self confidence. and many other lessons that i will never forget. this is when i think i started to become ME.

*my mother- {I've always been a mama's girl} She is the most selfless person i know. each day she teaches me something new.she is always so positive and teaches me to be positive. we have always been best friends and grow closer the older i get. she has set her expectations high for me and now i set them high for myself. i want to be just like her when i grow up.

*ryne {an old friend}- he taught me ambition for life. to live each day to the fullest. to do what is right. to make each choice count. to look at the spiritual side of everything. to be sincere. to mean it. to be a TRUE friend.

*kathleen pili {college drill coach}- to love life. to accept everyone. to be there for everyone. to LOVE everyone. to work hard. to laugh. that i can do tough things. do to what you love. to be a leader.

these people made me- ME. who i am today. they probably will never know how much they influenced my life + changed me for the better. but they did.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. ~William James

who made you- you??
have a good weekend.
i know i will.
