The Future:Jordan Strange

AH. Junior year. What a crazy, wonderful year. This school year was full of do-able amounts of stress and a whole bunch of other things.

It was pretty successful to say the least. And there weren't many failures, but the small failures in my life aren't even worth mentioning. Positivity is key here. I learned  a bunch, not only in school, but in life. Every day I've learned to find the silver linings. There's so much to be thankful for and so many lovely people that keep me sane. School is difficult at times, but this life is so good. I've learned to appreciate teachers, love my peers, and find joy in simple things.

Some pretty great successful happenings are these:

My grades this year have been, well, pretty alright, especially considering my lack of motivation!

Dance team made it to nationals again. HC dance represent yo. We competed and did really well, but more importantly had SO much fun.

Also, I finally decided what I almost might want to do with my life. I think I've decided to pursue Nursing. This makes me so excited for multiple reasons. First, I love people, so getting to pursue something in which I can help & love other people makes my heart so full. Also, I could use this as an opportunity to work overseas and minister in other ways to people that need not only medical attention, but the Gospel. So hopefully, this is carried out in the near future.

Lastly, this year, I've been accepted to go on a mission trip and return to Africa this summer. I get to travel to Port Shepstone, South Africa for a month, and I could not be more thrilled. I'm looking forward to this because I'll be back serving in a place that has my heart, meeting and loving on people who need Jesus. I also get to work at a camp for 4 weeks! There's so much joy in working with younger kids. Flower crowns & mud faces & tree climbing galore.

This life is so abundant and every day I'm reminded of that.
