Best Definition of Success EVER!

As promised, today we venture into the heart and mind of a 12 year old middle school student.  I believe you will be surprised by what we find there.  For instance, the first thing our student wants you to know is, not all American children are spoiled brats. 

Her dream is to be a nurse and heal the broken.  She wants to change the world by helping the homeless and spreading the Word of God around the world.  She doesn't sound like a brat to me, how about you?

The one thing that makes our student angry is fake friends.  Yes, that certainly sounds like middle school, doesn't it?.  She gets the most joy out of helping people.  This is a child who, every time she gets a free moment from school, can be found at a local assisted living facility, helping the elderly residents.  At 12 years old, she is already working toward her dream. 

My favorite thing about our friend is that she gives the best definition of success EVER!  She simply says success is defined as, "doing well."  As the old saying goes, "out of the mouths of babes..."

Precious student, I wish you blessings as you continue toward your dream of becoming a nurse.  You already have the compassion, it comes through in your responses.  I would tell you just one more thing.  You are already successful.  Not only are you doing well, you are doing very well.

If you have not taken my life changing questions survey, please go to www.bonnietilley.com and take one or more of the surveys available.  Please check back on Wednesday when we will be discussing why some cultures remind people of terrorism.


Love,
Bonnie
