“It’s been really difficult for me but hopefully I can move past this feeling and work hard.”

This week has been exciting, but it’s also been a little bit sad. I was taking part in the American Legion Auxiliary program for Girls’ State Michigan. And it was fun, it was exciting. And I made a lot of great friends and learned that I probably will want to go into law for my career. But I was also sad because I didn’t get into Girls’ Nation and I didn’t get scholarships that I wanted to get. So that part has been pretty upsetting to me, but I am glad that I made some friends, even though they are scattered all around the state, including the Upper Peninsula. I probably won’t be able to see them very much, but I’m glad that I at least now have a new group of girls to talk to. So that’s — that’s pretty fun. Yeah, having to deal with the feeling of not being good enough to win the scholarships and to win Girls’ Nation has been something that I’ve really been struggling with over the past two days. Even though I’ve known that I’ve worked hard, it’s tough for me to see other girls who have worked just as hard as I have get it and wonder like what could I have done to be better? What could I have done to actually achieve the goals that I want to achieve? It’s been really difficult for me but hopefully I can move past this feeling and work hard and possibly even harder in the future to work towards what I want to do.
