GED, License, and YW Hood Award

So life has been so exciting that I have not been able to write, blog or have much time for lots of things. I really need to write out what has been happening though or I never will which looking back at later in life I would regret.. :)

As my title says I got my GED! Yay! I got very good scores and almost a perfect score in the reading section. This means I am able to finally submit my college application for BYU and BYU-Idaho in as soon as they can send the scores to the school and I get my final draft for the essay's in. This means I'm technically graduated from high school since I am home schooled and it makes me breathe easier going to Mexico.

Also I got my license! I have been waiting for this for a LONG TIME. I was supposed to get it earlier if we had lived in Utah but with the move to Massachusetts that did not work out. Then I also had issues with my Drivers Ed so I had to wait till I was 18 to get my license because of MA laws. Then I took my test on Dec 12th but failed because of several dumb reasons... like I stopped for a SQUIRREL! Also the Cop was kind of grumpy.... and just things like directional's and whatnot... but I was able to reschedule the test for the Dec 18th. That day in and of itself was a miracle. I know that many prayers were answered that day because so many little things happened. I lost of permit but because of nice people at the RMV they jumped us into the front of the line, I was able to get a duplicate and then put the registration in on time. The guy that tested me was super nice and made me less nervous. I was able to fix what I had missed on my last test and even though I had some problems with parallel parking I was still able to do it and the guy passed me! I was so excited I did a dance and even though it has not been EVERYTHING I have hoped it would be it has still been nice.

Lastly, today I just finished my Young Womanhood Recognition Award. I had one last project to do and I finished! This is a big deal almost like an Eagle Scout Award for girls. I get an amazing necklace that is silver, has a ruby on it (to remind me a virtuous woman's price is more than rubies) and a picture of a temple. For each value I have to do 6 value experience and one 10 hour  project. There are 8 values which are Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity and Virtue. This was also a big deal to for me to get it before I went to Mexico and is a weight off my chest, it can also go on college applications. 

These are all very exciting things and they have been moving so quickly but I like it and I am enjoying life. Anyways, until next time!
