This is my first blog and I've been wanting to write one for quite some time, and now that I finally have, I have no idea what to write about. I could just plug away on my laptop and babble about nothing, or I could try to muster up some words of wisdom and I can share with the big group called no one that is reading this. I think I will start off with something short and easy.
I have just graduated from high school and am wondering, "what now?" which seems to be what most 18 years old fresh out of high school do. While most of us plan to go off to college some go straight to work. Which made we think about taking a year off just to work and to save up money. But how could I do that when just thinking about going to work makes me crazy! And not only that but without school I am off of my mothers health insurance. I have too many health problems to not have any health insurance. And my job has the worst health insurance so I guess that is 1 point for school and 0 for working.
My biggest fear, which may sound ridiculous, is that if I wait a whole year to go to college I will be in the same grade as the "junior" class that I went to high school with. Those kids were a pain in my ass for 3 years and I do not want to be associated with them.(2-school 0-work).Now I will be the first one in my family to ever go to college, and if I wait then someone may take my title. I cant have that, I wont have that(3-school 0-work). But if I want to be more independent and move out I need to save up money(3-school 1-work). Having a full time job that works around school hours is going to be hard. I mean people do it everyday....but they look tired and I am still recovering from high school (not that it was hard as much as early and time consuming when you add a job on top of it).
This is something I need to seriously think about because I am running out of time. It looks as if school has won, but I still need to think. I mean this is my future we're talking about here.
This blog had a lot of "I" in it, and a lot of "me" as well as me just rambling. And that is not what this blog is about. So just give me a break this is only my first one. I'll get there eventually.
I thought I would take a second and explain the title of my blog "The Most Precious Rose". This is actually a quote from Kathleen Turner's book Send Yourself Roses: Thoughts on my Life, Loves, and Leading Roles. She states that "Knowledge is the most precious rose". I take this as roses meaning "Knowledge is the most precious gift". And it truly is. Knowledge is something that you gain and you can share. The best gift you can give someone, is knowledge.
