For You Patrick,

I know it has taken me forever to write but hey better late than never?

What gets you through the night?
Knowing that I have lived a day, though it may have been super stressful. And hopefully I will have another day to expirence my youth in its fullest. I am grateful I can sleep in a place that is beautiful and safe with parents who love me no matter who I am. The fact that getting through the night is taking away one more day of from Bush's presidency is also a plus.

How do you get through the day?
To be honest, though it is no suprise, smiling really does helpme get through a day. Even when my life seems to be in shambles, a joke or sarcastic comment about my situation is enough to survive to see another. Most people tell me repressing my feelings is bad but I feel like I let my feelings be exposed by laughing. Another way I make it through the day is to make sure I have events in the near future to look forward, whether it be reading an entire book in one day or seeing a movie, knowing I have something to be excited about I know it is going to be ok. And if times are really bad singing at the top of my lungs to a song I feel I sing well is a way to not run away. I can give you a list of classics later.

What dreams have you had since childhood?
There are many dreams I have had that I do not necessarily let the general public know about because they seem unattainable. I have always dreamed of going to college in a big city outside of California. I am fulfilling that dream next year! I want to write a book someday. As cocky as it sounds, I think people would actually read my memoirs. I would love to meet Tom Brokaw and tell him he is going to televise my liberation of the Middle East or I will just enjoy a cup of tea with an amazing journalist.

But really.....

A dream I have had since my childhood is to make my mother proud of me. To let her know all the sacrifices she has made to raise me paid off. Therefore, she can see me and say thats my daughter with a smile on her face.
