When you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, do you prefer to have your toppings spread thick or thin? Do you like it with crust or without crust? This may be a little preference, but I find that the little things that happen during the week can either make it or break it in terms of having a good or a bad week. When I think of my weeks, I think of the usual routine contentment: getting up early, going to school, stressing over how much homework I have, hang out with my friends, and coming home with still more work that has to be done. It seems that every day I never have enough time.
Besides for my routine, something very exciting happened. It was a little thing, but it made the week all that much better. On Wednesday Courtney Thomson attended OHS volleyball practice and helped work with the varsity players with the exception of the setters from each team. You may be thinking..."Who?" Well...Courtney Thomson is a volleyball player who was the 3 year starting setter at UW, including in 2005 when they won the NCAA title and even back in high school she led Kentlake into three straight state titles! She is now is training with the USA Women's National Team in hopes of a spot on the next Olympic team! So as a volleyball player...this was a big deal to me! I didn't get to practice, but just sitting in the gym and watching was enough for me. I did not want anything more than just to sit and listen to what she said... I tried to take it all in, but I just keep on thinking..."COURTNEY THOMSON!" One of the aspects that I learned is that you can achieve almost anything with the right mind set, and that you don't fully know how much you are capable of achieving until you do.
Well... that was the highlight of my week. It was a small thing...just like how much peanut butter and jelly is spread on your sandwich, but if you focus on the little things, it makes it that much better!
