Chapter 4

I think I'm going to write only once a month from now on, mostly because I forget and don't have a big enough time period to devote to writing a post every week. We're all back from spring break, and as happy as I was to get a week away from school, truthfully I almost would have rather stayed at school than gone on the Chicago mission trip. It would be best for me to say it was a good trip, but that it did not hold up to my expectations. And I don't mean to say this to be negative, however, there were many things about the trip that I didn't agree with and therefore made me frustrated. Now, I know you can't please everyone and that the whole point of a mission trip is to take a step out of your comfort zone to help others, and that's what I did, but I don't think it was gone about in the right way. To avoid just complaining about what I didn't like, I'm just going to stop there, and eliminate any possibilities of being immature and making others angry.


Now, to talk about other matters. Recently, I've been getting into small arguments with another person. Let's name him BLANK. It's been really hard opening up to BLANK because of the way he acts. It feels like he's trying to be my friend just to say he's my friend. Like it's a game. That would frustrate you too, right? I'm proud of myself for the way I've been handling it, however. I haven't made it a big deal and I've tried very hard to be truthful to BLANK about why he's irritating me. It hasn't solved the problem, but I feel much better about the situation now that I've explained to BLANK my problem with him.


I can't think of anything else to write about, so until next time..
