As I was reading the text this week, I found myself agreeing with the part about adopting a creative mindset. When I was in high school I suffered a great lost, my mother passed away. See everyone thought that I was going to fall apart and I was not going to finish high school. My mother was killed by a drunk driver a few days before I was scheduled to take my final exams. I could remember sitting in my room, I had to stop and say to myself, Norma you are not going to let mommy down so pull it together. That's just what I ended up doing, pulling it together. I finished my junior year out with a high GPA.
Was this an easy assignment that I had been given by God? No, it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. However I would get up each day an create a new mindset. I had to remind myself to do the best I could each day. The choices you make will have a effect on your life.
Sorry Norma to hear about your mom. But proud of you that you didn't let yourself fall down and make that an excuse for not finishing school. I believe if God does give us another day than we just start all over again. I would say by crating a new mind set, but not did I always think like this. I was a person before that would make excuses and would not accepting personal responsibility. I was like the book "On Concourse" states a Victim mindset. I completely agree with you about our choices we make will affect us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my post! I believe God plan was carried out when my mom passed. I didn't understand then but I do now.
DeleteNorma,
ReplyDeleteHow horrible to lose your mother! It is never easy to lose a parent, but losing her during your high school years must have been heartbreaking. You have persevered though, and I know you continue to make her proud of you!
Thanks Sandy!I pray she is always smiling at me and my sisters.
DeleteHello Norma...
ReplyDeleteI am more than sure that your mother is so proud of you, you are a very brave and strong women.I can't imagine how hard it must of been for you to overcome the lost of such an important person in your life. Our high school years are so critical but you did a wonderful job and I am so proud of you .
Thanks so much Guadalupe, I had so much support while I was in high school. I was so grateful for all the love I received, I dont think I could have made it if I didn't have my grandparents.
DeleteHi Norma,
ReplyDeleteYour post is truly inspiring. I also lost my mother junior year in high school. I agree losing a parent, a mother, is one of the worst experiences a person can have; especially at such a young age.
Thank you for sharing your post.
