"The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success."

This past week and a half has definitely been an uphill battle. Due to a large number of obstacles that were recently thrown at me, I have taken on the challenge of finishing an online anatomy class....in three weeks! The nursing program at BYU doesnt recommend it, countless people have told me I'm crazy, but here I am. This is my shot. My only chance at the BYU nursing program is hidden in this class. I have limited amount of time and I need an A. Everybody wish me luck!
It's been both physically and emotionally exhausting, but I won't give up without a fight! I took my first quiz after studying for six days and the result was a "decent" grade. I'm hoping that I've learned from the first test and can now do better in the next two weeks! Either way, I know that I did everything I could and if I don't get in, Heavenly Father must have another plan for me right?
This year I have learned a lot about myself and my Heavenly Father. I have learned that no matter how hard I try, I will always need my Heavenly Father to pick up the slack in life. He is aware of me and although he already has a plan for me, I know that what's important to me is important to him.
Today, I was able to take a quick break from all of the studying and run with my mom and step sisters in the Race for the Cure 5k in downtown Salt Lake. It was shocking to see how many inspiring people were there. One man was running for his three year old granddaughter. She had overcome cancer at 9 months old and has been in remisssion for 2 years now. The resiliency of little children is absolutely incredible! There were so many different kinds of people there, but it seemed that for that moment we were all the same. We were all there because we were survivors. Whether they had survived cancer, lost someone to cancer, or cared for someone while they had cancer, we were all survivors! It has been an amazing day! :)
