From Ordinary to Extraordinary I may be just an ordinary girl, but what does that even mean? Being ordinary according to the dictionary means to be someone with no special abilities or distinctive features. Well that just means that I am no one special right? Are you thinking what I am thinking? Well I guess that means I can't do anything important in life. Well that is wrong!! You can do anything you put your mind to. I mean that with all of my heart, I was there once but I took charge of my life and changed it. I came from a family with a dad who is a high school drop out, neither parents made it through college and we lived a hard life. I was taught hard work and to life with what you have.

I have on many occasions. I have always tried to respond to these thoughts quickly or disaster can hit, or just a bad day. I never know what will happen next in life, and these promptings can really help me. This day was no different......a little prayer can go a long way. It all started on a hot July morning. I was talking to my mom and the idea hit me to drive out for the long weekend. I didn't have class or work so why not go and be with my family. It had been a while and I missed them dearly. After I hung up with a excited mom, I started to pack for the drive. I had to finish some homework and go to work then...
