The {P} Word

I can easily tell others the dangers of the P word, though these cautions don't stop me from doing the P word. You would think being in my last semester at the U of U working on my undergraduate degree would help me in not doing the P word, but I cannot help it. The act of the P word, the use of the P word, the definition of the P word ... it is just naughty. As I was a child I never did the P word, in fact, I only recall doing the P word after my accident. Which then turns me to wondering if my brain injury is getting worse. I don't want to be a H word though (which is almost worse than the P word). Just like the F word is much worse than the S word, and you never use the C word.

My advice to younger generations is to never, and I mean NEVER begin to do the P word or else it gets out of hand and it's almost impossible to catch back up. Though that doesn't matter to you because you'll continue to do the P word every day until you have to get something done because say it's a deadline or another person in your group is counting on you.

Currently

In 8 days I begin the last first day of my Undergraduate degree. I will be an intern, doing an internship with The Dixon Girls. I will be a mentor for many young women, for women from all different backgrounds, cultures, ages, and current situations. I am so happy, excited, and thrilled. I know that this will be a great opportunity for me.

At this time my thoughts go to how my 5 year plan is almost up. I have a mear four months until that 5 year plan is over with.

Graduate from high school.
Obtain my CNA.
Graduate from SLCC w/ my Associate of Science.
... Graduate from the U of U with my BSW (Bachelor of Social Work).

I will have my BSW, then what? That is where I am in my life right now. Do I go international? Do I stay in America? Do I stay in Utah? Do I become a personal trainer? Do I follow the U of U football team around for the rest of my life? I'm 21, and have far too many choices, decisions.

This I know, and believe to be true:
