What will you make of it?

Well, I had my first day of school today... it was the orientation. Although most people don't stay for the whole day... I did... I participated in every cheesy activity, asked TONS of questions, and gave my thoughts, feelings and reactions. Now for those of you who don't know, I am enrolled in a university program at the Medicine Hat College, I am studying to be an addictions counsellor. The program is very personal, with the teachers encouraging you to be open with the class, and mostly with yourself. I will be starting up a new blog... I think It will be called University 101. My goal is to track my progress.. day by day if possible, and my hope would be that in the future, other poeple could use my new blog to help them understand the in's and out's of University... The basic working of things. I hope to share my sucesses, my failures, and most of all my experience. So check it out!

So... I learned something very valuable today. One of the teachers gave us each a key.

Now, the question they asked us was... "what do you notice about this key?" Everyone came to the same conclusion... The key is uncut. But it has the potential to open many different doors. (can you see where I'm going with this). basically... it is a metaphor for our life. What will we do with our day, our week, our month, our life. Our lives have so much potential... and we make our own destiny, we open our own doors. So I put it on my keychain, so that I can see it everyday, and I will choose how that day will be. I think this is wonderful, and everyone should rush out and buy an uncut key... so that you too can ask yourself the question, What do I want my day, week, month ect to look like? What will I do to make that happen? Try it... you never know... I don't see myself ever parting with my key... we have bonded. I now look at my key, and ponder life, I look at my key and I see my hopes, dreams and goals. So now, I know what I will make of my day.... What will you make of it??????
