LeTourneau List of Actions

1. Don't freak out about grades--they don't matter on the resume (or diploma) anyways.  An occasional B is fine, as long as I keep my GPA above 3.4 so that I can keep my scholarships.  But I'm not going to study so hard I become exhausted and burned out (as I have in the past).  Unless, of course, I'm about to fail a class for some reason or my GPA is going to fall below the standard.  Good--although I did get a D in one class, and I did get the occasional B.  But overall, doing pretty good with that.
   
2. Become more like Jesus--this one should have been at the top.  But I will be doing daily devotions, and I want to emulate Him in everything that I do. Daily devos--on and off.  But I've definitely grown a lot closer to God than when I came here!  So it's been good, with ups and downs.
   
3. Become a friend.  Become someone that people can come to for advice.  I want to be someone people can trust, someone who can listen to others.  I want to develop deep relationships with people, not just have shallower relationships.  And I want to help others through anything that may come up. I've definitely developed some good relationships, so I think I achieved this pretty well...I think...haha you tell me!
   
4. Get involved.  I want to join the Photo Club, Apologetics Club, maybe the Nursing Home Ministries, and YellowJacket Activities Council (although the latter requires an application after January 31 or something like that).  I'll also be on the yearbook.  Of course, I don't want to get overloaded with activities.  I probably won't join all the clubs that I just listed; I'll have to pick and choose. Lol...I've gotten pretty involved. Definitely met this.  Although the clubs/orgs. I got involved in are: Martial Arts Society, Anime Club, Public Reading of Scripture, Sigma Tau Delta (English Honor Society), yearbook, and newspaper (not necessarily at the same time).
   
5. Become a tutor.  I would LOVE to tutor English!!  I enjoy editing, and teaching English (I've subbed a couple times for my English teacher at Hallstrom).  And don't be afraid to get a tutor--I'll probably need one for math and maybe for computer science. Not tutor--grader! So I met it in a different way.  Although I prefer teaching to grading.
   
6. Take advantage of every opportunity--don't chicken out on anything.  I will have 2 1/2 years at LeTU before I graduate, and I want to make those years the fullest I can.  (Full on richness, not on "having no time at all to just relax") Met. A little bit to the extent of "having no time at all to just relax," although I haven't gotten exhausted or anything.  So it's been met well.
   
7. Stay in touch with all my old friends!!!!!!!  Obviously, I'll be in touch with Jordan basically every day through the webcam, but I don't want to lose my other friends.  There are plenty of sites to keep the relationships going--e-mail, myspace, and facebook. Um....not so much.  Unfortunately.  :( 
   
8. Prepare to be a wife.  I will probably get married soon after I graduate, and I want to prepare to be a wonderful wife and eventually mother as best I can. Not as much as I wanted, although I'm still learning and Jordan's and my relationship has gone through rough and smooth spots, which has been good. And I've been observing other married couples' relationships and reading some on relationships, too, so I've prepared a little more than I had before.
