Me

After being filled with fear for the pass week, I looked deep inside of myself and rose from my seat. I walked very slowly toward the front of the church where my pastor had opened up the doors of the church. In this moment of time I was ready to give my life to the lord. Not only did I turn my life over, but I realized what my real purpose in life was. I was here on this earth to serve the lord and to make him happy so that I may have a home in his kingdom once I leave this earth. From that day my philosophy has always been, everything happens for a reason. It's God's purpose in life for me. I have expectations in life that sometimes never go my way. But I have to remind myself that the lord has a plan for me and I must follow it. For an example I did not plan to attend Tuskegee University. My first choice was Hampton. I applied for early admission for both schools but Tuskegee responded before Hampton. I waited for months for a response from Hampton. So finally I got tired of waiting and decided to attend Tuskegee University. Once I made that decision it felt like an enormous load lifted off my shoulders because I could concentrate on my senior year of high school. I still had doubts about coming to Tuskegee, though. It was in the middle of nowhere and I was not going to have transportation for the first semester. As it was getting closer and closer to school, I started to become nervous because I was about to jump into a new situation. The CSRA TU Alumni club planned a picnic for the Fall students. After hearing the Alumni talk about Tuskegee, I started to get excited about attending school. So finally the day came that I was to arrive on campus. I was excited but I still did not know why I chose to attend this school. Everything looked so broke down as I was driving on campus. But then I attended the Opening Session in the Chapel. All of the speakers were very positive and encouraging. The orientation leaders made me feel like I made the right decision
