a couple of things

1. I GOT INTO MY FIRST CHOICE COLLEGE!
now i know this isn't the world's hardest college to get into,
but i gotta say that i worked my butt off and it paid off

2. yesterday (the 20th) marked 11 years that my family & i landed in this new world called the United States of America
i've officially lived here for over half my life & longer than i did in brazil

3. i've watched Freedom Writers at least 5 times these past 2 days
i love that movie, and had forgotten that
i hope to one day impact a student's life...
and i'm sure i could watch that movie every day for the next year and i'd always cry at the same part haha

&
4. i'm so so so proud of my best friend, Matt
i won't say what he did, but he made a very poor choice last friday night
and he had to pay the consequence for it with his parents
he called me saturday in tears because he was upset for losing his parents' trust
but he came to an epiphany
he realized that his friends were all taking him down a path he didn't want to go down
and what got me is that although he's been my best friend since 7th grade, we don't really show each other any kind of affection outside the occasional hug
well he told me he loved me and that i was his only true friend
and considering what i'm going through right now with a friend situation, that meant more than he could ever imagine
no matter what, i'm proud of him for coming clean to his parents

anyways this has gone on long enough!

So. Happy. For. You.

Awesome. You did work hard.

Freedom Writers. I think I had to read that book when I was teaching school. Then the teachers went on a 'field trip' to go see it. Good stuff.

Glad you have some good friends.

Love you!
