This is kind of a tangent off of a post I saw on the board. I thought about posting it there, but I didn't want to like, make a big thing on the main board.
SO I THOUGHT I'D MAKE IT HERE INSTEAD!

...I always was told I could be anything I wanted to be. It's one of those things that you see in movies that you think is corny or you think kids don't REALLY want to hear- but when I think about it, I was told all the time, straight through high school, that I could do anything.
On my own merit.
Apparently life had other plans, but I blame that on circumstance [which sometimes is just a roll of the dice], not on my level of tenacity. It's frequently served me well.
It will again, I just need to get my hands on those damn dice one more time...
---Also?
I had an AMAZING Girl Scout troop- where we learned skills all the time. Stuff that we wouldn't have learned anywhere else. Things you don't just inherently know. I truly believe this was HUGE in making me who I am today. We built things, we had goals, we gave to our community, we did things to help younger troops- and taught THEM to do things.
HUGE.
