My name is Monica, and this is my pseudo diary. There is a very thin list of things that matter to me: God, dance, photography, my close friends, music, my family, and most importantly Heath.

I had to set up a digital portfolio today in Adv. Photography because my teacher, Mr. Rodriguez (a.k.a A.Rod), has been talking to his old photography professor at Hope for me, to put in a good word, hopefully the professor can see talent in my work. And if he does hopefully it’ll help the appeal process that this professor wants me as a student. It’s been a real confidence boost this past week working with A.Rod to get my stuff together to send to this guy, because I finally feel like someone is paying attention to me and is trying to help me get where I wanna go. I feel like he believes in me, and lately I haven’t been getting that feeling from anyone else. I’ve been feeling like I’m alone in this, like it’s all up to me to figure this stuff out, and get there on my own, when I have no idea whats happening or how to even begin to get where I wanna go. I’ve been feeling really insecure lately about a lot of things, so for him to show even a slight investment in helping me reach my goals really made my week. So thank you A.Rod, I really appreciate it. It’s weird that I got so many warnings from friends who don’t like you, but you’re one of my favorite teachers I’ve had in high school. Oh and if any of you guys wanna see my portfolio go here: monicaczechowicz.carbonmade.com
