Writers in Paris

On the last day of my service trip in California, I get an email informing me I’ve been accepted to the Writers in Paris program in my school!

The timing couldn’t have been better. I’m well rested and ready to get my life back on track.

The next couple of weeks will be spent catching up on assignments, errands, working, and bonding with my loved ones. But my main priority will be getting ready for my time in this program. This is something I’ve wanted for some time now, and although I’ve been accepted into the program this is just the first step. There is plenty more I need to do to make this happen for sure.

I’ve always understood that if you put enough effort into the important things in life all the smaller things will fall into place. But I’ve never put it into practice. I think it’s time that changes. After speaking to several people whose lives have taken a turn for the worse, I’m even more motivated to put my education first and set aside my temporary desires.
