Next June will be my 5 year mark from graduating high school! I have a lot of great memories even though my first year of high school started off bad. I did start off the year with my best friend Kirsten, who is now getting married next month! We both registered to take American Sign Language which I fell in love with and was so much easier for me to learn then Spanish and I also did dance and ballroom dance. My senior year I was on the ballroom dance team and that was the most fun time of my life!
I dated a lot in high school and focused way too much on guys. Looking back now I wish I would have focused more on going to college instead of dating. Now when I think about it I would have had more motivation to go to college if I had focused more on that goal. Trust me girls don't focus your whole life around guys in high school!! Have fun and enjoy your friends and focus on your main goals. I dated a guy for years thinking he would go on a mission and I was going to wait for him and get married in the temple but that didn't happen since we ended things while we were in high school. It's not the end of the world if you don't have a boyfriend all the time especially in high school. I think now with how much I focused on other things that weren't as important has affected my friendships a lot and my goal to go to college. Some of the guys I dated were really nice and we decided just to be friends, I still even talk to one of them and he came to my wedding, and others just turned out to be jerks in the end. I should have had more fun with my friends and made more memories with them instead of dating. Kirsten and I were like sisters and we went everywhere together. We worked at the middle school cleaning after school was done, we went to church together, and our senior year we became ASL club officers together. We were in charge of setting up the ASL competition we did with other schools around Utah. We defiantly had our ups and downs but we were always there for each other. I wish I had that relationship with her now but she has accomplished a lot with college and is now getting married and I couldn't be anymore happier for her and proud of her! I did have a lot of fun with all my friends even though now we have all gone our separate ways. My plan after high school was to go to UVU for ASL and become an interpreter but the summer after graduation I met Trevin's biological dad and everything changed. Yet again I focused my life around a guy but I will post about that mess of a situation later.. I still think about going back to college since I took some college classes in high school but with working full time and being a mom and wife full time it's been a hard decision for me. I know a lot of moms do it all and go to college but I really want to focus on Trevin and give him all the attention and everything he needs while he is young. I don't want to feel like I didn't give him enough attention while he was little since I have to share my time with him. Maybe in a couple years once my life really starts to settle down it would be an option. I'm not making up excuses for not going to college it was all my decision and sometimes you think you are making the right choice but sometimes they don't turn out the way you think they are going to. I have learned that a lot and the hard way. Take my advice and focus on your main goals and enjoy high school while it lasts.
