Taking Advantage of Opportunities
Today just an ordinary day... I went to school, had a BC session which was a good session, and I ended up working for Tina.
In my BC session we talked about how long I was staying, and the pros and cons of each decision. I realized that I was making a big deal about staying 2 weeks more in a place that has helped me through so many of my struggles, why would I want to leave such a structured environment? But I also thought, I have been here for 6 months and I can't wait to go home to see my friends, family, and go back to my normal routine, and starting back at my high school.
The good thing about staying 2 extra weeks is that I would be interviewed for the TODAY show. Phil and Molly sent a handful of students' names and stories to the TODAY show, and I from what I hear, they picked me to be the one student leaving that they chose to follow. I feel so honored to be picked, and this opportunity will most likely never come again. While being here at AOS I have been presented with so many opportunities that I would have never gotten if it was not for this school.
I think my decision will be to stay here for the remainder of the semester. I know that this is a good decision because I will accomplish more, finish my YABBO application, and hopefully move up to YABBO.
Other than that my day went rather smoothly. I am waiting to call my mom, and I am going to return to study hall to finish writing "The Story of my Success" and outlining "Why I deserve to be a YABBO".
Goodnight.

So I just want to say that the TODAY show would be crazy NOT to choose you... Your an amazing example of what you can do at AOS and have the mindset to accomplish so much more :). I also want to say that I think you will be an amazing YABBO... I can't tell you how proud I am of you because your showing that your ready to explore whats on the other side and that your ready to take the next steps. The steps to be an LTWC, Haha I love you and I know you be one of the BEST YABBO's EVER.
