I graduated today...

I graduated today from high school. I'm no longer home schooled. I've been home schooled my entire life, and now I'm not. I had the honor of giving the student address today. I honestly think it went pretty well.
During the entire graduation I felt fine... Until the last words for the graduation were "I present to you the class of 2010!" and then I though, "I'm no longer home schooled. I am out of high school." I started drying as pomp and circumstance was being played as we exited the auditorium. Today is a HUGE milestone on my life and I'm not sure what to do next. I mean, I'm obvious going to Liberty, but... I'm out of high school. I don't care if I sound like a broken record. I'll say it again. I'm out of high school! It's a very odd feeling.
I ordered my macbook pro and ipod touch this morning. It's my parents graduation gift to me :)
I think I'm going to take a nap because I'm rather exhausted.
The graduate,
Becca

Unconditional Love

What is unconditional love?

Unconditional means no matter what, always, never ceasing, forever, not limited.

Love is a strong attraction to another... to hold dear... to cherish. Love must include care and concern, appreciation, and countless other qualities.

By putting unconditional and love together, you get the most beautiful thing in the world.

Unconditional love doesn't mean,
"I love you even though you have flaws."
It's saying,
"I love you... all of you... I even love your flaws."
It's not just,
"I love you when everything is perfect and we're both happy."
It's saying,
"I love you when I'm upset...even if I'm upset with you. I love you if I'm having a bad day... I love you when you're upset or when you're in a bad mood... or having a bad day."

Unconditional love is putting the other person's needs before your own... making sure the other person is happy. Even if you have to sacrifice your own.

I use to think it must be impossible to love someone unconditionally... but I don't anymore :)

Summer orientation was today!

The Monogram ↑
The vines center (convo) ↑
Demoss ↑
(4/5 classes are there)

Took some pics... there they are :)

67 days...

----- In 67 days, I'll be heading down to Liberty University for college. The picture below is a map of the center of campus. (To view the map larger, click it)


----- The red spot is my dorm... dorm 3! All of the buildings above it (↑) are also dorms, but they have farther walks to everything. So I have the closest dorm to the center of campus.

----- The blue spot is the vines center. In there is a basketball court. It's where all of the concerts that LU hosts are as well. And of course, that's where convo is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

----- Notice that there are 2 gold spots. The bigger one is Demoss. 4/5 of my classes that I'm taking this semester are in there. My other class is the smaller gold spot.

----- So so far, I'm VERY close to where I have to be 3 times a week for convo, and i'm also close to all of my classes. Can the amazingness continue? YES

----- The last, but definitely not lease, is the green one. That spot is the ROT (aka the dining hall.) Now I know that is looks like I'm on one side of campus and the ROT is on the other, but this is only a small portion of the campus map. The campus of LU is HUGE. So I really am extremely close to the dining hall.

I'm heading down for Summer Orientation today.
I'll take a lot of photos and post them later.
Becca :)

Best friends since age 6!

So this right here... is my bestest friend ever: Shannon. I've known her since I was 6 years old. We use to play 'orphans' and go out into the woods trying to build a home where we could live so we didn't have to stay at the evil lady at the orphanage.


Now, 12 years later, we're still close. Unfortunately, because of school and work, we don't get to hang out much.

Old memories.
