Meet Sarah



First of all, thank you for taking the time to read about my life. My name is Sarah, and I like to think of myself as a pretty ordinary person in an absolutely extraordinary world. God has really blessed me with a wonderful family, amazing friends, awesome students, and a love of words.


I was born and raised in Texas by a beautiful, loving family. I have a wonderful sister, who is an amazing wife and mother. My father is a strong, encouraging man who always pushes me to be my absolute best. My mother has always been my #1 Cheerleader and for that I will always do my best to return the favor.




I have two very best friends: Victoria and Kimberly. I've known Kimberly for almost 10 years, and Victoria for 8 years. We've stuck together like glue for quite awhile, and we always encourage each other to do what's right and true.  




I'm Roman Catholic and love everything about my Church. I was first introduced to Catholicism when I was 13 when Kimberly invited me to a retreat. After I turned 16, and after two years of classes, I was baptized, confirmed, and received first communion in the Catholic faith. I taught RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) for teens for two years afterward. Now, at university, I am a part of a couple of organizations, the most prominent being on the Raider Awakening Staff.




I hope you enjoy reading about my life...because I definitely love writing about it!

Psst, I went to Spain in 2017 and loved it!! Read my posts here and watch my video!

Chapter Thirty-Four: What to Pack for College....Sarah Edition!

Image
Well, this is it. Tomorrow is the day I move into my dorm. The absolute first post in this blog was all about how excited I was to begin my life and see the world in a new and different way. I'm now on the brink of experiencing my dream...and I'm absolutely terrified . I'm actually shaking as I type this. I've read countless blogs and pinterest posts about moving in and they all say the same thing: "You're going to cry. A lot." I've already done a lot of that and I haven't even moved out yet. Ugh. Anyway, I've been packing for college for a good couple of months, and I have kept track of it all. I've done this for a number of reasons: I need to know what I should be returning home with I need to know what I didn't use didn't need after all so I can pack better next time I wanted to compose a list for you There are countless other "What to Pack for College" lists out there, so mine will probably be no differe

Chapter Three: Luke and the Half-Priced Frappe

Image
Last night, in the midst of my depression over the AP Chemistry test (see Chapter Two: The Whole Story) I get a SnapChat from a good friend of mine, Luke. ZOMG STARBUCKS! For those of you who do not know, Luke and I are both perfect examples of white girls. So, naturally, we love Starbucks. What really got us excited was that, currently (May 1-10, 2014) from 3:00-5:00 pm, all frappes at Starbucks are half-priced! So of course we decided to to go to Starbucks ASAP. (Which meant today)  Now, the only potential problem with this plan was that our school lets out at 4:15 pm, and the traffic after school is TERRIBLE. Especially today, because all those seniors who couldn't have senior out today (we had a messed up schedule due to state testing) wanted to get out of the parking lot as soon as possible. So even after I sprinted to my truck, the line for exiting the parking lot was already huge and crowded.  The normal amount of traffic in the school parking lot. Fearful

Chapter One: When Will My Life Begin?

Image
Usually fun and adventurous stories start off with a heart-pounding, action-packed, swash-buckling  beginning. Not this one though. Because this is the story of little, ordinary me. And, unlike other stories, this isn't the beginning. This is almost the prequel to a story that might not even happen; a path created that leads to a road still being built. Because this is the story of little, ordinary me. This is a story of a college freshman. Well...sort of. I'm not a freshman in college yet . I will be though...very soon. I only have 33 days left until I am out of public high school. Of course, I will miss a lot of aspects of being in high school: my friends, the easy grades, the impressive teachers....but at this point (which I am sure many high school seniors are feeling) I am ready to GET. OUT. I am ready to begin my life .   Here is Rapunzel, from the Disney movie Tangled , painting her image of the world outside of the walls of her tower. This. Is. How. I. Feel. No, my
