| So for those of you that don't know, I worked at McDonalds this summer....
>I only 1/2 way salted the fries
>Filled the soft drinks all the way up with ice so they wouldn't get much soda.
>Never asked to super size
>Never said "would you rather get 2 for a dollar"
This was part of my "Keep American Skinny" plan. I hated seeing really large people come in and order HUDGE meals when they're putting themselves in health danger. Not just adults, but kids even at the age of 6 would order super sized meals.

| Since this summer...
At the beginning of this summer I went on a mission/fun trip with my church choir. Each year I look foward to this trip b/c it's a fun time to grow with God and others that mean alot to me. This year when I was painting a hallway in a homeless/troubled kids sheltered I realized how good I have it in life and how blessed I truly am. The trip ended bittersweet, I was happy to be home, but sad to leave the week I had spent with prolly the most amazing people in my life.
When I got home you would think that trip would have influenced me to go out and do good in the community, but it kinda had the opposite effect. Instead, I got out more and this is when I found out things like "98 teens have smoked pot" is true, I am indeed in the 2% fyi. I also saw one of my best friends trashed. This was the first time in my life I had seen a friend of mine trashed before. With this came things like me kinda lying to my parents about who I was with and seeing places like fry street at 1:30am and 3am. I'm not going to say I feel bad about all this, because I don't. I've had the time of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything. What's life without experimenting anyways??
After much contemplating about what I have learned lately...I got baptized in June. It's not something that I just woke up one morning and decided to do. I've been wanting to do this since I think fith grade...I'm pretty sure that's when I started understanding things. I'm really not wanting to tell about it much now...but I love it.
This summer have have seen everything from fry street at 3am, rocky horror picture show at midnight, to miracles God has blessed me and others with. I have really gotten to get a good feel about what life is outside of the sheltered life I have known the past 17 years, I'm not saying my life now is not shletered, b/c I'll always be a goody good at heart. But it has lead me to new good/and bad experiments that have lead me to love what is my life today.
and thanks to everyone, without yall, i'd be lost.
and to one heck of a summer. :) | | |
