I really enjoyed our speaker on wed. in class. She opened my eyes up to a lot, I found just about everything that she said to be inspirational. During her speech we discussed how positive things could come of positive speaking. That's really something that I need to work on. I feel as if sometimes I can give off negative energy. We also discussed the 3 keys to an amazing life. 1.) Faith. Even though I am a christian sometimes I feel as if I could be closer with God and believe more in myself. I think that would make my life more fulfilled, sometimes I feel an emptiness inside myself, hearing this helped me realize this is exactly what it was. 2.) F.O.C.U.S- frequent optimism causes ultimate sucess.3.) inter guidance, basically believing that anything is possible and being dedicated enough to go through with what you want to happen. Dr.McDonald is what I call brilliant! Hearing her story was very inspirational to me and I think the rest of the class as well. What I learned from this speaker was to believe in myself, surround myself with positive people, focus on the positives and not the negative, and Keep my faith strong. I am what the average person would call a "worry wart" I was just able to really relax and tell myself that God wouldn't burden me with anything that I couldn't handle. I use to panic and work myself into a frenzy because I felt there would be no way out in a situation that I may have got myself into. I have to surround myself with positive people! I feel as if I don't I will only tare myself down and they would only help me do it. In my camp I have wonderful parents and relatives that believe in me, actually more than I believe in myself sometimes, and I have a best friend that any girl would die for. She supports me no matter what the case is and she points out my strong and weak points. They say things happen for a reason, Wednesday I almost missed class due to not feeling well, I believe that God made me feel good enough to go because he knew that I was feeling down within myself, and needed to hear what she had to say. I'm so grateful to her advice and inspirational message. - Thank you
