 A time I had to get out of my comfort zone was when I had to go skiing for the first time. This was stressful and scary because my parents had made a trip with their friend group to go up the mountains and ski. Hearing this I was taken back because our family had never done this before. Later when we went on the trip I brought my Bible with me and read it over the beautiful view of the snow which gave me enough confidence to finally try. Then the moment was there where I had to go down the mountain and I was never more ready. It had been 4 years now and I go every January. I only get better and it's one of my favorite things to do!

The experience was so eye opening and one I'll never forget. On this hike we went to a Mountain about 5 hours away from Atlanta. The way there was calm until Mr. Patrick said, "Okay guys so now I will be taking your phones". I stood frozen but I knew I'd be in good hands, God's hands. The hike was amazing and we had mass when we got to the waterfalls then we got in. It was beautiful. I found it very hard to keep going but I felt the strength of the Father with me.

We didn't even put up our Christmas tree which was odd because we always do but it was still nice being with the family. We didn't get many presents but the few presents I got I was extremely happy with! Overall it was an amazing break to get some rest and get ready for the new year.  The first goal I would love to achieve would be to get straight A's this semester.  The importance of this goal is to prove to my parents and myself that I can do it. I have been slacking a  lot , and I know it is bad.  T his year I want to overcome my depression and really push myself to my greatest potential. This would prove not only to my parents but also to myself and my teachers, who have supported me along my journey to graduation.
