The way to succes

It has been over a month since my last post, I have been so busy with everything! It’s just crazy! But I have good news. I’ve got my permit, finally. So now it’s time to take the drivers test and get my license! I think I’m going to make an appointment with the Driver Examiners Office in Hugo, Colorado. Which is located in the middle of nowhere, so that should be easy! I took my permit test in Colorado Springs, and failed 4 questions out of 25. So I passed in one time! Woohoo!! You are allowed to fail 5 questions, and I did not even study for it like others did. It took me 2 months waiting for response from the SSA office though. (Social Services Administration Office) It was just ridiculous, they told me I was eligible for a social security number, while I told them I was not. So after all, they had to give me that denial to get my permit anyways. haha.

About school, things are really good. Advanced Composition and Advanced Reading are really helping me understanding English better. Advanced Composition really helps me with punctuation, and Advanced Reading with understanding what your reading. besides that I’m doing Welding. I’m totally loving it. I’m doing GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding). You would think I’m doing Arc Welding, but it’s actually MIG. So that is totally awesome! Tuesday, March 9th was the first day we actually welded. We had to do the safety test first, though. But I’m sure we all got an A for that. After that, we started to do our own thing and started Welding.

Also, I have been thinking about my future. What do I want to do? What do I want to get my Minor, Associate and Bachelor in? I think I want Welding as my minor. And I would love to do CIS (Computer Information Systems) and get a bachelor degree. So I still have some brainstorming and researching to do! But I’ll get there. I still have summer to think about everything and clear my mind.

The weather out here in Yoder and Colorado Springs has been really weird. One day it snows and we have about two inch of snow, and then in the morning we have lots of sun, and it’s all gone in couple hours. Makes Colorado pretty interesting doesn’t? OH! By the way, I got a new bike. It’s totally awesome. I got a TREK 4600. I have been riding my new bike a lot already. Riding a bike out here is pretty intense because there are a lot of ups and downs. (Mountains) It’s not just one straight way, like in Holland. Let me show you a picture of my bike, here it is!
