Sooo, I could possibly be the most blessed person on the planet.
Let's see the list:
1. Today, I helped with the Special Olympics at JCJC. I was assigned a small girl named Sierra. Sierra is autistic and does not like to be touched and will not talk to most people. At least, that's what they tell me. After being with this child for 5 minutes, she latched on to me and didn't let go...even when I had to leave. As I was trying to leave, she reached up, pulled my arm so that I was at her eye level, and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I will never forget that moment.
2. Also today, I was informed that I will be on a full scholarship to the University of Southern Mississippi. SMTTT!!! :)
3. I have not had a day in 3 days when I have had to stop what I am doing and go get in my bed because my head hurts.
4. Starting three weeks ago, I have begun tutoring two children at South Jones Elementary school to learn English. Their names are Fatima and Brayan, who moved here from Mexico at the end of last semester. Neither spoke a word of English until I and two other students began working with them. Fatima is who I mainly work with, leaving Brayan to a male student. Yesterday, Fatima read her first complete paragraph in English!
It's not a lot, but it means a lot to me.. I am feeling so blessed.. Thanks God!
