I can do this!

7 1/2 more weeks left until I complete my first year of college. What a whirlwind ride this year has been! I have had so many emotions this year that I pretty much have felt everything. I know one day, in the end, all of this hard work will pay off. It's hard, but I can do it! On the plus side, 9 more days til Spring Break and 8 more days until I have a brand new baby cousin!!! EEEEEPPPPP!!!!! :)

On the serious side. . .

So I think out of all my friends, I've told about 6 friends what I'm about to tell you. I have a disability. I was diagnosed with Autism when I was just 4 years old. I haven't told anyone this, because I'm afraid of losing friends and I know it sounds dumb, but when i told someone, they told me I was weird and said they didn't want to be a part of my life because they thought it was a contagious disease. I've been afraid to tell anyone but I realize it's who I am and it's who Heavenly Father wanted me to be. I am on the higher part of the spectrum of Autism, but I still have it. I also have a brain disorder called "Asperger's" and it affects my learning and things like that. I have had teachers judge me for it. I have old my two best friends and my 4 other close friends. I have a photo shoot with one of my friends on Thursdays and she is doing it for people who have disabilities and even though mine isn't too noticeable, she asked me if I would be willing to do it for one of her projects and I agreed! I hope this post helps you to understand me a little bit more. Feel free to ask me any questions if you want! :)

I Belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!

I absolutely love Sunday's! I am so grateful and blessed to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! I truly would be lost without the gospel!! It has blessed me in so many ways I can't even imagine my life without it!! I bore my testimony today for the first time since like May. My heart was racing from the minute I walked into the church building and I waited until the very last minute to bear my testimony, but I'm so glad I did!! I am here for a reason, and although I don't quite know the reason fully yet, I know the Lord knows exactly what my reason is! :) I just love Sunday!!!! :)
