Becoming Who Your Are

Vocation has many different means to different people. Vocation is about who you are, every vocation is different for every person. We are all unique so we are called to do different things. To find our vocation we need to know who we are. We are called to do what we love, we are called to change the world in our own unique way. We are going to lose sight of what we are supposed to do, and what makes us happy. We lose of path and lose our way. That is when we need to take time and ask questions like who we are and who we want to be. the question is not who I am supposed to be or what people think i should be. But who we really are inside. Who am I by nature? Who was I born to be?

I do not know the answers to these questions for myself. I have my mission statement that helps guide me through my life now but i have no idea what I am called to do. I don't really know who I am. How can I? I am still growing and maturing. I know I am called to what makes me happy, I am called to what will change people in a positive way. I am called to save lives, either physically or emotionally. We can save some one's life with one kind word, and never know it. When I realize my true vocation, I will be happy and love life. I will see the world with different eyes, I will know who I truly am and I can be truly happy.

Mission Statement

My main goal in life is to smile and make the people around me smile. Which should be easy because i am told all the time that I am funny. I strive to be selfless. I want to be a mom and care for people. I love my family, and I can't wait to have my own. I spend any free time that I can get at my Dad's house with my sisters. I want to be gentle and caring. I want to love live, and wake up everyday happy where I am.

Sources of my Identity

One huge part of my life that has changed me, forever, is my sisters Bridgid and Riley. The twin sisters were born on May 26, 2010 and my life has never been the same. The countless nights of crying and no sleep, the smiles, the hugs and the kisses will forever gives my girls a place in my heart. Watching them learn and grow is the best part of my life. Seeing them smile and laugh, playing countless games of soccer and ring around the Rosie make me smile almost everyday. My sisters are my biggest inspiration to do better with my life. Through the college process, I had to think about what was best for not just me but for the girls to. They inspire me to keep going even though the temptation of senior slide keeps getting stronger. I find myself being more caring and understanding. I find myself living everyday to the fullest and living happier. I find myself being stronger against challenges and growing as a person, or finding who I really am. Everyone always gasps when i say i have twin sisters who are two, they must be such a challenge in your life and yes, i take care of them , but they take care of me to.

Another thing that made who I am was coming to the mount. I know that sounds very typical but I have met life long friends here. There are a handful of people this school that i will love forever. my sisters go to this school. Some of the people i love most, and have changed my life forever are because I choose this school. I am more confident, not only academically but socially. Everyday comes with a challenge, but I feel so loved here. I feel so independent and strong. I feel smart and capable, and I don't believe any other high school could have done that for me. Academically almost everything I have learned here I will use in college and in my future career.

Along with school, crew has changed me forever. I put these two things together because I wouldn't be rowing if I didn't go to the Mount. Crew makes me feel strong and in control. I get those endorphin highs after some of the practices,which can make my day. Crew is stressful and challenging and physically draining, but it also the most gorgeous sport I've ever seen. I will always have crew as a part of my life, because I can't imagine life without it.
