I don't really know how to start this blog.  I used to use xanga about 4 years ago, back when I was still in a catholic grade school, back when the temptation of an 11th grader did not exist as much.  When I was looking through my emails from xanga, I found a link to revelife, found out what it was, and joined immediately.

My name is Bridget.  I am 16 years old and I am in 11th grade.  I live in the "15th best place to live in the United States by Money Magazine", a small town outside of Philadelphia, PA, called Horsham, but if anyone from outside of the state would ask me where I live, I'd probably just tell them that I live in Philly.  I went to catholic school from kindergarten to 8th grade, and started going to public school in 9th grade.

As soon as 8th grade ended, I knew that everything would change. It doesn't matter how many years a "catholic education" is drilled into your mind, it doesn't mean that it actually means something to everyone. As I entered high school, I left behind 37 people, with whom i had gone through 9 years of teachers, lessons, dances, drama, and death. I went through SO MUCH with that small, amazing group of people, and if I would have to compare who we were to who we are, it would be SO different. As we left our grade school, we went our separate ways and left eachother to go to Archbishop Wood High School, Hatboro-Horsham High School, Lasalle College High School, Saint Joseph's Prepratory School, Gwynedd-Mercy Academy, and Mount Saint Joseph's Academy.

As I entered Hatboro-Horsham with 13 of my friends from grade school, I thought that we'd stay close throughout our 4 years, but i was wrong. I stayed close with about 6 of my best friends through our entire freshman year, but by the time sophmore year rolled around, we went our separate ways, made our own friends, and joined our own cliche groups, like the popular kids, the jocks(baseball/football boys), and, of course, the honors kids, the group that I became friends with.

Some days I look back at what I did wrong, and now I feel as though the temptation and pressure of highschool got to some of us, and split us up.

Even though I go to public school, Jesus is still my support, the one thing that I can turn to, the one thing that ISN'T going to change in my life.

I love this video. I cry everytime I watch this skit. It shows the power of temptation and sin, and shows that God and Jesus is ALWAYS there to turn to when it seems like the world has turned it's back on you.

Love, Peace, & Faith.
