“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman
Hello world! And welcome to my online diary. Before I start blogging away I would like to tell you all a little bit about myself. I am 17-years-old, and a soon-to-be senior at Bellarmine Preparatory School. Cheerleading takes up most of my time, and helping others takes up most of my heart. I recently became cheer co-captain, as well as Youth Chairman of the Red Cross program at Madigan Hospital. I am excited for my new leadership positions and have already started working full throttle in planning fundraisers and various community service projects.
I have a lot on my hands this summer. From Red Cross planning, my upcoming service trip, cheerleading, college applications, studying, and completing my summer reading for two AP English classes - it is safe to say that I have not had enough time to do anything aside from the activities listed above. My life has always been like that, though. Never having time to do anything because I am always doing everything. I have a tendency to make things harder for myself, but I am happier that way.
I discovered at an early age the reason why God put me here on this earth. The reason why I keep living. The purpose for which I was made. I am here so I can help people. There is a slight difference between passion and purpose. Passion is something you feel, and purpose is something you know. I know that my duty is to serve others - and I can feel it too. So follow me over the next few months as I continue on my journey of faith and service. And witness my adventures as I try to discover peace in a hectic, but wonderful life.
Hey, i like your whole " Passion is something you feel, and purpose is something you know". i would liek to fallow your blog, and read your future work. I think you would like the way i write since we both kind of have the same thought about the world.
