Week 9

Well there's only one more week of blogging left after this week! Thanksgiving was this past Thursday and it was great. I got to go home and visit my family. I know it sounds really cliche, but it did make me think about how much I have to be thankful for. I was so grateful for being able to go home to my family and see my sister again since we had both been so busy that we hadn't been able to even talk since we saw each other over fall break. The fact that I have family that truly loves me and would do anything for me at any time. It's really sad for me to think about people who don't have a family like mine. I'm so thankful for my ability to be in school and get an education that will help me get into the career of veterinary medicine. I'm thankful for my ability to be active and do some of the things that I love most, like running and exercising. On Wednesday I received my first interview invitation to Kansas State University. I was so excited when I got the email that I immediately started crying. I'm so glad that I was able to tell my parents in person since I was home. I'm excited and now I think that I can actually do this, and get into veterinary school. It gave me the boost of confidence that I needed because I was beginning to get discouraged. Overall, I'm so thankful for my ability to go home and for a family that supports me. With this one interview invitation, I think I have the confidence to get through this semester when last week, it seemed extremely discouraging...God is good.
