Quote | Success

I'm linking up with the Daily Mayo for today's Quote Me Thursday:

This quote is especially important to me, I think it is super inspirational and motivating. When I'm watching TV or just sitting on Facebook or Twitter, or simply doing something useless, and I think of this quote, I (usually) get up and start studying or revert to doing something more productive. I hope this quote will motivate you like it motivates me!

Have a good day, and do something productive today! :]

The Office

The Thankful Project's topic for yesterday was to talk about a room we are grateful for. So, here it goes!

 The Office in all it's glory! (Lots of books included)

So, a room I am grateful would be my mom's office (technically it's for both, my mom and dad; but mom has the bigger desk).
I do, indeed, have a desk in my room, but mom's office is warmer, and brighter. (And closer to the fridge, if you know what I mean!). Why am I grateful for The Office? Because it's getting me some pretty good marks at school, of course! (I rocked my Chemistry exam the other day).
See, but I'm not sure my mom likes it when I occupy her desk. But what can i do, even Maggie likes the place!

Maggie in the office!

And that is, basically, why I am grateful for this room (& for my mom who kindly let's me work on her desk. Most of the times).

Is there a special room you are grateful for? :]

Blessed, Educated.

Today, I'm merging two different link-ups in one post:
 "The Thankful Project" link-up by Kenzie from Chasing Happy + "Quote Me Thursday" link-up by Brenda from Daily Mayo.

Today's Thankful Project topic is to write about a blessing we're thankful for, and I chose a quote to go with this topic too.

I have so many blessings, which I cannot count. I can read and write and draw; I can see and hear and smell... I'm blessed because of the people I love, the food in the fridge, the couch I'm sitting on; the clothes I own, the perfume I wear, the friends I have...
But what I want to talk about today, is the blessing of education.
I sometimes complain about all the studying we have to do, and all the tests we have to take- especially this year in grade 12. But when I really come to think of it, my mind wanders to the people who cannot afford school expenses. To the children who spend their days, going from car to car, trying to sell cheap packs of gum. To those who have chosen majors they don't like in college, to the people who go to jobs they despise everyday, because that's what the circumstances imposed on them.
While on the other hand, I can go to school; I have the opportunity to learn, to choose what I want to be in this world. I'm exposed to so many different ideas and people, I have books and pens and paper... And I am grateful.
Sometimes the assignments are too much and the books too big... Sometimes there's pressure and homework, and hard problems, and useless lessons, and mean teachers, and uncomfortable chairs, and headaches, and sleepless nights... But I am thankful for all that and for this life, and I am thankful for the opportunity that not everyone was given.
