It is amazing how perspective can change.
Just a little while ago I was a Young Woman, who thought she knew everything but never admitted it.
I was silly and stupid and careless and young.
3 years can change someone dramatically.
I have grown. Not completely. That will take more than this lifetime for me to Grow up all the way.
But I have grown in maturity, in wisdom and in strength of personal character.
Don't get me wrong, I have a long way to go.
More than I want to think about.
But I will get there.
At least I am better than I was.
Can I ask for more?
Especially as I am working my hardest to become better every day.
I hope it all pays off.
I am sure it will.
My goal is to be much better versed in important matters by Aug.
My piano playing will be better, I will know more about the scriptures, I will be stronger, I will be more kind, I will be more Christ-like, charitable.
I am going to work my hardest this summer. Harder than I have ever worked. And I am going to become the best person I have ever been.
And no one but myself can stop me.
So I won't let me.
