"What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful."
― Scott Westerfeld

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

1/4 Exams done :) Only three more to go....

"Start worrying about your own dreams. They are unique and undeniably yours for a reason. They are showing you, and at the same time compelling you, tomake the most of your life. It is not selfish to be your very best. What's selfish is to let your enormous potential go unrealized.
What have you always wanted to know, always wanted to do, and always wanted to be? It is never too late to honestly answer that question, and the answer to that question is your own truly beautiful and unique gift to the world. Because when you fulfill your greatest possibilities, you raise the whole world up with you."
 
" Don't look down on someone unless your helping him or her up."

"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. "

So....I'm meeting with my guidance councellor tom, to "discuss my future." I need to talk about course selection, and grades and my career path....I've mostly chosen my next year's courses, and if I finish my gr.11 and gr.12 world history - i'm taking what you would call the "AP" version of it....apparently all the courses I've taken even this semester and last semester are "AP"....So far, I've decided English (mandatory), religion (mandatory), bio, chem, french, bio physics & bio chem (a new course our school is offering - for pre-med students) and hopefully, a spare!

Because males tend to gravitate towards surgical specialties.

If I knew you were a female beforehand I would've drove up to Canada just to give you roses for valentine's day. :naughty: :laugh:

It's illegal for me to drive out of my own state since I don't really have a full license.... Oh well. :rolleyes:
