Writing is the best way to convey thoughts and bring them to life. When I was younger, I used to spend a good amount of time writing songs and poems. At the time I had much to write about. Now that I'm older, I find the time I used to spend writing is now consumed with life's loads. Writing to me is not just putting words on paper, but bringing to life thoughts or experiences that conflict my mind. Most of the time I used writing as a therapy, to work through difficult times. I enjoyed it and it seem apart of my daily life. I have found that most of the poems I have read over the years comes from ones emotions. Love, hate, sorrow, doubt and anger seem to be just a few of the emotions we express in our writing. Taking the time to write a poem, song, short story or a novel seem to be less expensive and very therapeutic for the soul.

Your Mountain is Waiting

This morning I said to myself, congratulations Rachel today is your day. Even though the sun is not shinning and the rain is pouring down, I feel as though today is full of as many, if not more possibilities as yesterday. My schedule is bound with here's and there's, but I know I will be amongst people who might need a smile or a, hi how do you do. Little things may not seem like they can impact, but truly that have the most profound effect. Being sure to step with great tact and responsibility for others will be today's goal. So my mountain is waiting whatever it is, I'm gonna push and pull till it gets out of my way.

Todays Waiting

This is great! I've always wanted to create a blog, I just didn't know where to start. This is my very first blog entry, and so I will give you some insite into my wonderful life.
In November of 2005, I decided I wanted to set a goal. Not thinking about how far that goal may take me, so I made preperations to recieve my GED. I had dropped out of high school in grade nine, so I was apprehensive about how I was going to fair taking a test I had no knowledge of. I studied at home for a year, (mostly math) and felt it was time to jump. So a year after I set my goal, I received my GED in November of 2006. I was the second of five children to reach such a goal. During this time I was a stay at home mother of one beautiful little girl. Each day I looked at her, I knew I wanted to be an example and show her perseverance. I expressed to my husband the inner urge to move forward in continuing my education. I wanted to make sure when I started college, that I was secure in my life to be able to give 100%. After one more baby and a few more birthdays, my decision was clear, I was going to college. On August 12, 2009 (my 27th birthday) I finalized my paper work and became a full time student with Kaplan University. After four terms and many more to go, I feel the decision to continue my education was the right choice for me. Not only has it impacted my life, but I have inspired two other people to take this journey with me. So in the Spring of 2011, I will be a Kaplan University Graduate with my degree in Medical Transcription.
