"It's so important for people who are hurting to know that the story hasn't been finished. Things are terrible now, but there's more to the story" Dr. Richard Goodling
January 9, 2010

I know that my story is far from finished and I know that my story is going to have a happy ending. Things are terrible in some ways but I know that they could be plenty worse. I also know that I didn't get a student teaching placement for last spring for a reason. Perhaps I would have ended up flunking out again and I definitely don't want that to happen. On the bright side now I'll have a chance to get my license and a car. It would have made things easier if I had been able to drive myself to the school the first time but I know that it had nothing to do with me getting kicked out of the placement. You know how hard it has been for me not having a license but it hasn't been meant to be for some reason.

My overall story has had a bunch of interesting pages including a bunch of sad ones but you are the writer of these pages so I know that there are a lot of happy pages to come. I know that there will be some fairly sad ones to come but it will be mostly happy pages with goals and dreams finally coming true. As long as the pages are filled with a deep relationship with you I don't care what else is in the pages.
