It means everything
Did intervals of running and walking 1 minute each Monday and Tuesday on monday it took me 15 minutes and 30 seconds to do 1 mile yesterday it took me 14 minutes and 20 seconds!! Isn't that great? I felt so good. Today I'm taking a break, I'm upset and feel like crap and thank god I didn't goto food for comfort instead I talked to myself and told myself that even if hard work goes unnoticed whatever I do I do it for myself and no one else, so why should anyones opinions matter?I got accepted into a college of my choice and my dad told me "it doesn't mean anything" when I have worked my ass off these past 2 years to get to this point, after dropping out of school cause I thought I wasn't smart enough, I went back and now I will be graduating soon and I'm accepted into this college and he tells me it doesn't mean anything?? I felt like shit. I felt like all those good grades counted for nothing, as I ran for the bathroom to cry my eyes out, I talked to myself and let me know that I love me for being brave and getting to this point in my life. Today is a milestone for me I am extremely proud of myself. I don't care what people think I'm doing this for me because I deserve it, if my father doesn't think it means anything then he can just shove it =)
BTW I decided what I want to do, I want to be a elementry teacher. 5 years of college/university here I come!!!

Congrats on the run, and especially the college! I'm sorry to hear what you dad said, but it is a great accomplishment! :) Good luck!
Hey girl!! Thanks for adding me to your Reads column! I put you on mine. Just wanted to say, not to worry about your dad. Kirk(my SO) had no support from anyone for college, his family feels college is just for rich people and he is trying to be something he is not. Well, he'll be graduating in 2 years(dual major) and truthfully he is in a better place now(mentally & educationally), than he would have been if he didn't go.
Just believe in yourself, and all will be fine!!
