Personal Reflection 2013-2014

In my other blog I wrote the highlighted events that happened last academic year. If you want to look go on magszrhea.blogspot.com Here I'm going to talk about the personal reflections.
2013 was a rough rough year, so many things going on.
When I started out that year, I was really stressed about having to catch up on coursework in science and other school, because this was the year we were to take our exams. Just worrying constantly about time and about what's going to happen.
But backing up a bit, during the summer we went to America not really intended, but it happened. But we went in groups. So to explain that better, we separated to go back to America. My mom was already there, so three of my sisters went first, then a couple of days later two more of my sisters, then a week later my dad and the youngest, then another week later me and my other sister, Maly.
As Maly and I were preparing to leave I had an emotional breakdown because I thought we wouldn't be coming back to Cambodia (my mind does that), and Cambodia is now my home. I hardly had friends in America. But it was hard on me because two of my best friends weren't there and then one wasn't feeling well. So I couldn't have really said goodbye to them, if it were to be my last time to see them.
Anyways after getting all emotional we went to America and had a pretty good time! Moved a lot but still had some fun.
We were two weeks late to school because first there were elections in Cambodia and that broke into riots and the Embassy informed all of us to stay put, and because the house wasn't ready to sell.

So that was a background. Anyways I came into 2013-2014 school year really hard hearted and turned away from God. It was at cross culture where I finally got myself back together again, because I was just going crazy and not being myself. Cross Culture was important to me then because of that, I haven't really told anyone why it was so important to me. So cross culture was not only a highlighted event it was the event that opened my eyes back to Christ, where I got refocused.
Then the exams rolled around the corner so fast it was insane. That was a time where it was so easy to slip away from God, but luckily I didn't. I managed to manage time and hangout time okay enough to not stress too much.
Then graduation just to finish off the school year well. I felt so honored and I almost didn't mention it in the other post about winning to servant leadership award, which at Hope is the highest award given out to 2 elementary (Primary) and 2 secondary students. 1 boy and 1 girl. But when I realized it God gave that to me and all the glory goes to God, though I would love to take the credit (not gonna lie) but only God can.
So that was like a topping off a burnt cake.
