Quoteworthy

Ever since the beginning of 2017 I have had a running notes in my phone of hilarious, memorable or wise lines that important people in my life would say. Nonetheless, they are all very quoteworthy. As I have transitioned into life at Indiana Wesleyan and have found myself wanting to remember more and more of these lines that people would leave with me, I have started using a journal in order to collect these. As I have been wanting to write another blog post during these few boring weeks of May term, I figured that I would pass these along to you. I hope you enjoy!

Confidence

Confidence. Something I've always struggled with. Ever since I was in middle school, I have always compared myself to everyone else. Whether it was in the sports that I tried and miserably failed at, the expensive, sparkly shirts that the other girls wore, or the one B that I got my freshmen year which would keep me from achieving my goal of being one of the valedictorians. It was a constant battle. See that picture above? I would've never posted that my freshmen year because it's just of me and I didn't want people to think I was selfish. I never wanted anyone to mistake that I thought too highly of myself and was conceited, so I guess I took the exact opposite path. However, I don't think a lot of people noticed it, actually I must have covered it up pretty well. At the end of my sophomore year I remember my mom telling me that one of my teachers had told my mom that he wanted his daughter to be as ...

Little did I know that I wouldn't only get to have him for both semesters of English my freshmen year, but also both semesters of English my sophomore year. I knew how lucky I was because he didn't teach many freshmen classes, yet somehow I didn't have to switch teachers at semester and I am forever grateful that I was with him for those two years. However, Mr. Ogle wasn't just my teacher. He was/is one of my biggest role models. While I was in his class, he had two blogs and I read them frequently. He is actually ...
