never loose hope in those who failed highschool biology

dewayne and i have been car hunting for a while now. We were at forrest motors in provo a few days ago. This one lady kept starring at me, and finally comes up to me and says, "i know you from some where." we'd finally discovered that she was my 9th grade biology teacher from highschool, Mrs. Francis. I said, "oh ya, i totally remeber you now. I failed your biology class in 9th grade...oddly enough i'm a nurse now."

I often times think, "how did i ever get here?" I hated science and math in highschool, and got a 15 on my ACT the first time and a 14 the second time. Two lesson's learned...one, believe in your self, you can truly do anything you put your mind to! Two, never let anyone make you believe something is too hard!

Sounds like my life, but I'm not quite there yet. We need to work together so we can catch up!

I remember how hard you worked at getting solid A's at BYU. You outschooled any Sosa kids by far. I'm so proud of my little sister!!!By the way, congrats on the new car. Mom said it's very nice!
