Olivia: What a year 08 has been!
Dear Diary,
As excited as I am for 2009, I've had a pretty good 2008! A year of realizations, a year of scary grown up thoughts, and a year of VERY happy memories...
I'm so thankful for the people around me that pushes me to do things I would have never done, and I hope I've had an effect on my friends and family as well! The other day, I was filling out an application to be a substitute teacher (that's what I've decided to do with my time in Arlington before the big LA move), and 1 of the questions asked
"If you had 1 goal in your class, what would it be?"
I PROUDLY answered "To inspire people", and went on to elaborate that I don't just want to teach people math or skill for the real world. I want to set an example, and be at least a fraction of the person the child wants to be!
I think that became my biggest realization this year: I want to do something that could inspire people. Whether it is being involved in a movie that makes a little boy want to make his own short films; or writing a song that helps a couple fall back into love; or even just sitting at a desk job, making enough money so I can spend some time volunteering, in the hopes that I've not only helped somebody, but also showed somebody that it's not as hard to take some time for others... I want to INSPIRE!
So, in hopes of being people's muse 1 day, here's to hoping 2009 will be a year where I can get on the road to achieving what I want to achieve, and maybe, just maybe... inspiring somebody to do the same!
Happy 2009 all!
PS: I have a new song!! But Steven told me not to post it until I'm completely done with it and it's recorded... so... stay tuned!!
