a rise from the ashes...

On Monday I get what most people wish for their entire lives, a second chance. A chance to right my wrongs and get my life back on track. I have come to believe that most everything happens for a reason, and with every mistake you must take it as an opportunity to grow, learn from that mishap, and essentially succeed. My first semester of college took quite a toll on me, both physically and mentally. By joining so many organizations right off the start it started to put me in a real bind with my time management, which eventually caught up to my academics. After reflecting over the holiday break I have come with the right mind set to tackle an obstacle with a well managed lifestyle and budget. Using 2009 to recreate my self, much like a Phoenix, rising from it's own pile of ash, better and stronger than before.
