the power of posi

You ever have one of those days where you feel like everything you do is wrong? Yeah well it is only 12:32pm and I feel like that right now. It is one of those insecure moments in your life when you feel absolutely everything is spinning out of control. Like you know something is going to happen, and you don’t know what…. GRRRR. Mind you, I won’t allow this feeling to go on very much longer – but I did want to take the time to acknowledge that I feel like crap today, and that feeling well it ends now!

So here goes some positive stuff! My sister is in a play *sigh* can I just spend a few minutes going on about how proud I am of her? I will, cuz it’s my blog and I can!

I am so incredibly star struck by my sister… Yesterday I walked into Craig Hall on Campus, and there she was! A poster of my sister with like 8 pictures of her in full costume on it! Such a beauty my sister! Sometimes I wish I just had one ounce of her passion, she is an individual who takes care of her needs, but still respects others while demanding respect for herself. She knows what it takes to get things done, and when she cannot go any longer - she continues to push herself through until her goal is accomplished. When I took classes in the Theatre department at MSU I heard countless times “If you truly have a passion for something, no one can ever tell you ‘no’” I saw this as a main way to let the students know about the rejection their field of choice will place in their way… that you will be rejected often because of your looks, and not your personality… So much emphasis is placed on that, and my sister? Well, she has overcome so many obstacles to be in the place she is now. She is the first Asian to graduate with a degree in Musical Theatre at MSU! She has played roles, and nailed them when people still questioned her passion. She has overcome the ridicule that parts of my family have placed on a major such as Musical Theatre, and has never tried to justify what she does – she let her actions speak… My sister gives up so much for what she loves, time is an example, (OH SO MUCH TIME) there are months where seeing her is nearly non- existent, and yet she is still such a hero to me. I think perhaps my favorite part of my sister is her humanness… stuff only a sister would know, she is not perfect, but has never claimed to be. I love her so much! Thank you Lord for blessing me with a sister like mine, please continue to open doors and bless her!

Yesterday I received compliments from nearly EVERY professor about the quality of my work. Many of you do not know this, but I am horribly insecure when it comes to certain parts of my creativity. I do not like to share it for fear of ridicule. For me writing (actual creative writing with plots and so forth) is a large one. I mean it is sharing your imagination with someone who is going to grade you on it… scary stuff. Well that particular professor told me she loved my script, and could see everything in her head!! That script haunted me forever, and to get a response like that, well it made me feel incredible! In my management class, I had to do a presentation – and after my presentation was over… she told me “You are a great public speaker!” That particular comment made me feel like a million bucks, I was starting to wonder if I had lost my touch after what happened in Media Theory class earlier this semester… Then, my Theatre professor told me that I have a good grasp of gradation… I HAVE BEEN WORKING MY BUTT OFF ON THAT! I know there are only 3 days of classes left in the semester, and the possibility of hearing all of that on the same day may never happen again…. But for that day, I felt so good that something I worked so hard on, payed off in a positive way! YAY!!!!!
