Ashley 24 Years
I was born July 25, 1992. Last Monday, Travis and I celebrated together, here in Raleigh. We went to a restaurant called, CowFish. I was treated to dinner, a Strawberry Gravitron Cocktail, and a brownie moose piece of cake :)
There is a lot that has happened in 24 years of my life. So many ups and downs that have made me who I am. I tried a lot to keep focus on the future and not look back to the past. I thinks it's a good way to keep positive. Never though, have I neglected the lessons I learned from things that have happened in the past.
I have put some life changes into motion, since my last birthday; one being living a healthier lifestyle. I started working out everyday and changing my eating habits. If I can control one thing in life, it's what I put into it. I found that the healthy changes fueled my positive behaviors. I was blessed to lose 15 pounds in a year. Slow and steady weight loss, but it's been really amazing to look back at pictures and see the physical changes.
Another accomplishment this year was getting my first teaching job. Teaching 7th grade taught me SO much. Everyday I found myself trying to improve something, whether it was my lesson plans, how I taught, how I managed classroom behavior, communication with parents, it was a learning experience every day. I was met with challenges moving to NC with a teaching licence in WA. I recently got my certificate here, and am on the lookout for a new teaching job here in Raleigh.
New goals for my 24th year on Earth are :
Keep the healthy life style--another 15 pounds to lose
Get a teaching job -- high school
Travel -- christmas vacay??
Stay Positive -- glass half full
Do something I've never done before -- ??
