First day as an ADULT

The moment I have been waiting for if finally here! Tomorrow morning I begin my internship with the Department of Justice (Interpol)! My stomach is doing flips and my heart is doing this weird beating sound! I'm excite and nervous! But I know I am ready to go! Saint Mary's and its staff has prepared me for this and so has my family!

My mom and dad have been my biggest supporters since...well...forever! They are my rock and my motivators. My mom has always told me to do things that make me happy and to do them for the soul purpose of me and for nobody else. This has always been a problem for because everything I do I do with my family in mind. Just seeing my parents work ethic and their success has motivated me to want to work harder and has motivated me to want to become a better person. I have always told my mom that everything I do I do for them....mainly because I believe I owe that to them. My parents have spent their entire lives making sacrifices for me..Its time I return the favor.

I know I still have a long way to go in regard to reaching that pedal stole my parents are at. I just pray to God that one day I can be half of what they are. I would love to have my mothers strength! She is the strongest person I have ever meet! I would also love to have my father humor. He can make anybody laugh at an given moment. I would also love have my parents wisdom. They both are well educated individuals and are very smart. Did I mention that they both have big hearts as well!?! I am doing what I am doing today because of my family...end of story:)

Enough for tonight. Should hit the hay. Up early to run and then heading to the Interpol office!

Love you all! Mom, Dad, Alex, and Lucy:)
