what it means to be practical

"You don't have to think about the money first,
we want you to do what makes you happy."

"You need to do what you love.
Making a lot of money is useless if you hate what you do.
You need to do something that will make you happy.
Worry about the money later."


"Well, of course we expect you to be practical.

(If you can get paid more for doing what you love to do,
there's nothing wrong with that...

Like if the president offered you a job to work for him for lots of pay,
you can tell him you'll ask your dad about it. But then if he says,
I'll give your dad a high paying job too.
...Then you can tell him you'll think about it =D) <-- [*cough* lol]


We just don't want to worry about if you're going to survive or not.
But if you're going to survive, you might as well be happy."

"You can do it.
You've done it for three and a half years.
I know you can do it for another."

"Don't think of it as scary, think of it as more exciting.
Maybe it might be a little harder.
And, yes, anything can happen now.
But that can just make things even more exciting. =]"


"We're not going to be disappointed in you, baby.
We know you can do it.
You're a very strong young woman."

"We believe in you."

...to believe in Him.
