Well i just got done taking a phyics test and i pray that i didn't bomb it.
Whats up with everyone?
Well right now not much is going on with me. I don't know if i talked to any of you about my situation at work. How i got suspended with pay because i was being threatned by a girl at work. Hte dumb thing is that they suspended her to with pay to investigate. well all that is over now and guess what NOTHING happened of course. We both still work there and everything seems to be cool now.
Other than that just got ACT testing coming up. Next week i go to a seminar for the ACT test so that i will be able to get a better score. I am praying for a 30 on that. I would get some good scholarships to colleges. Also i am filling out aplications to summer camps for engineering. Right now i am going to two. One at Mizzou and also one at Rolla. So i am way excited about that.
Big news i don't know if i wrote about this earlier but i letter in academics. I got a 4.1 GPA. So i finally am able to get my letter jacket. Hopefully i will be able to get it when ever all this ACT stuff is over. All this teasting a prep classes are costing my parents alot of money.
Well that is the bell i will try to write soon.

Well i went to church the past sunday. I am not going to lie i decided a while back to quit going because of personal reasons.
I can't say i think everyone has doubts at one point but i know alot of people go through them.
Me i decided not to go because i started to doubt wether my religion was the right one. There are alot of religions out there and i doubted wether mine was the right one. So i quit. I thought that if i spend my whole life trying to be what i "thought" God wanted and then come to find out that he didn't then everything was worth nothing.
Well you may be thinking well God can see what is in your heart and if you believe what you are doing is right and you do it for God he forgives your faults and accepts you as his child. And this is a really hard issue to believe for me.
Alot of you girls reading this went to camp with me and saw me grow with faith for God. It was easy for me to speak about my life and accpeting that my parents can not influence me. But coming back home was the hardest thing ever. My parents GREATLY influenece me.
I don't think you have any idea how hard this is. If i were to accpect that God will not take me into his kingdom if i don't study and go to church. Then i have to accpect that my parents will go to hell. I can't (won't) do that.
But i know i have to think about my life to and where it is going and if it is going the way i want it to and the way it needs to. I am not going to lie i had more pride and self comfidence as a christian. And i would love for that feeling back. But even that is difficult because i don't have a whole lot of christians around me.
Besides all this i said i had good news.....well like i said i am starting to go back to church so some of your prays worked on me. I am not going to say they are answered but are a work in progress. Another piece of good news is that i have planned on going to the teen study to be able to see you guys. Please keep praying and i love you all.
See you the third saturday of Jan what ever day that is. :)

P.S. I am so excited robotics is starting soon. And for those who have no idea what that means...that means the robotics team finds out what kind of robot to build and this yeat i think it is an underwater robot but not sure. But any way we start building it January 6. So excited. Oh and along with that i think i may be getting an interntship with a chemical engineer at my dad's work. First it will help get scholarships and second i get paid to do it. LoL! Just a little up date.
P.S.S. I miss you to Justin,Shelly,and Jillian!!!
