Hi Everyone,
This post is very near and dear to my heart. At first I wasn't going to share my story with everyone. But then I carefully thought and realized that by writing this post I can help others in the future. The goal of this post is not only to help people with this project but also with life in general. This project has made me realize how valuable life is and that sometimes when you love something it is best to set it free.
On Thursday I felt light headed in English. After getting a drink, I felt fine. But later that night around 11:45 I felt light headed again. I was honestly scared to fall asleep, I thought if I fell asleep I wouldn't be able to wake up again. Every small movement made me dizzy. So I ended up in the Emergency Room. After getting fluids through an IV and getting many lab tests they told me the cause of my dizziness was uncertain. Although the doctor was sure that stress, sleep deprivation and dehydration were big factors. That whole week I hadn't slept before 1 am and my stress level was so high that drinking water was the last thing on my mind. After I went home at 2:45 am I slept in and relaxed for a few hours but most of my weekend was spent throbbing in pain to the point where I couldn't sleep at all. I felt like my head would explode.
It was a scary experience. I do understand that I had stress for many reasons but the biggest one was this club. I thought my idea was taken away after all my hard work. But now I have decided to let it go. My parents have always told me how important health is. I learned this the hard way. In one of my previous posts I said that changing my project was like giving up. But I understand that I couldn't be more wrong with that statement. I am not giving up on my project I am letting it go. It's like setting it free for something better. I know that whoever takes the lead in the already established culture club will do a great job, and I would like to wish them all the best! In my next post I am going to introduce my new project but until then it'll be a surprise.
So I have learned and I am posting this to help others. Please take care of yourself first! I stretched myself in so many directions that it was impossible for me to function properly. That is probably the worst thing I could do and the consequence for this was a risk to my health. I am still in pain, my head still feels like it will explode but my heart is no longer heavy. Whoever said follow your heart but take your brain with you was really right. I am following my heart now with careful consideration/thought. I am going to fulfill a new goal while protecting my health.
I am thanking God for giving me strength to make it through this tough time and giving me hope for a better tomorrow. Also a big shout out to my family, teachers, and friends who have supported me throughout this stressful journey. I love you guys!
With Love,
Vrushangi

Dos Caminos
Dos Caminos
Hola Amigos,
Hay muchas cosas en mi vida que no se van bien. El tiempo es una cosa tan divertida. Cuando un necesita mucho tiempo no tiene mucho. Yo puedo ver mi sueño y mi veinte tiempo escapando como la arena se escurre de mi mano. Estoy muy triste y yo lloré cuando había un “mini pitch” en mi clase de Espanol. No sé por qué pero pienso que yo estoy muy estresada cuando yo lloré el mundo paró. Yo vi las caras de mis padres y Sra. Bonotto y yo vi que ellos lo sentían mucho para mi. Ahora no sé que hacer. Puedo comenzar otro club, cambiar mi proyecto o ser presidente para otro club. Pero no puede aceptar que mi club no es mío. ¿Por Qué -Es- Mi- Vida- Tan- Difícil? Pienso que yo necesito ayuda. Yo estoy confundida. Hay muchos sentimientos y estrés en mi vida. No me gusta este año a veces. Es por qué hay muchas cosas en mi vida que no se van bien. Pienso que yo necesito ayuda de ustedes. ¿Qué piensan ustedes? Ustedes pueden ser mi inspiración. ¿Estoy loco para hacer mi propio club? Yo pienso que mis lectores son mejores y van a ayudarme. Pensar en un momento en que te gustaba algo mucho, pero lo perdió. ¿lucharías por él o lo dejarías libre? Estoy teniendo segundos pensamientos ahora y es mejor si ustedes me dan consejos. Comentan con sus pensamientos por favor.

The Struggle Continues...
Hi Everyone,
Did anyone ever say that nothing in life comes easy? If anyone has said that then they couldn't be more right! Life is like a roller coaster ride filled with ups and downs. As of now my life is mostly downs but I understand that this is all part of life, the part where I have to cope and find a solution is the hard part...
I had a plan for my club but the only thing pending was getting it officially approved by an adviser and my principal. Two days ago another student started a cultural club for my high school. I have nothing against that at all! But watching someone else start another club similar to mine was like watching my passion slip out of my hand like sand. It was a devastating and stressful feeling. Currently, I am in the process of trying to figure something out with both of my teachers. They have been my support system during all of this and I couldn't be more thankful!
I am a strong believer of not dwelling on the problem and looking for a solution. Instead of spending time thinking about my problems I can invest time in coming up with a solution which is the rational and right thing to do. In order to look for solutions I have been talking to people especially my teachers! I have also brainstormed alternatives such as starting my own club or changing my topic. For me changing my topic is kind of like giving up but under the circumstances I know that I have to make a rational decision. Anyone have any ideas? If so, comment below, I'd love to hear them!
Even as I write this, waiting for advise from Ms. H, I know that in the end whatever happens will be for the best. I believe in God and know he has a plan because everything happens for a reason. Apart from that I believe in myself and my vision for the greater good of my fellow students. So until next time, I hope everyone stays healthy and happy!
Trying to be positive,
Vrushangi

The Struggle is Real
Hey Everyone,
As you can see I have titled this post "The Struggle is Real." To start off I am posting this at 12:40 am, so there goes the whole 8 hours of sleep rule...
High School can be a lot sometimes and this is one of those days or as I like to say I never got off the struggle bus.
Going back to 20-time. I think I am having trouble starting this club. I like to pay attention to the smallest details and organization is key for me so I don't really know where to start. My last Spanish post was about finding people to help me start my club because it is impossible for me to do everything even though I try to. So here I am on the hunt for people, those who want to be officers and those who simply want to be members. Anyone interested?!
I read a quote on our 20-time wall put up by my English teacher. It read something like this, "It is okay to not be perfect all the time." This applies to me so much right now. Sometimes I strive for perfection and it leads to a mess. I think for this club I need to just believe in myself and hope for the best. Trying to make this perfect will only make my life hard. I think sometimes the most "disastrous" situations make the best memories! So here I am looking for people to join my club and help me get started. I'm excited to see what people think and who joins. I think I will start advertising, make an agenda and hold the first meeting. I am excited for this new journey in my life but I hope for the support of my family members friends, teachers and peers!
P.S- Sorry for any grammar mistakes...
With Love,
Vrushangi

La Gente
Hola Amigos,
soy muy emocionada porque tiene 98 vistas en mi blog. Gente! Para mi club de cultura necesita gente. Soy buscando estudiantes de mi escuela. Un club sin la gente es como una escuela sin estudiantes. Ahora soy preguntar mis amigos y otros estudiantes a participan en mi club. Cada vez que yo escribo un blog, pienso que ¿por qué- estoy-loca? Comienzo un club es difícil pero es para mejor. Cuando yo investigando yo vi que cada club tiene una constitución y necesita uno también. En mi constitución yo voy a incluir así mi club es feria para todos. Pero primo necesita la gente para mi club.

Starting a Club
Hey Everyone,
As you know my last post was in Spanish, so in this one I will basically say what I said before and add some new information. In my last post I wrote about starting a club and how it is a hard process. I also talked about the things I want to see in my club. I really hope all of this works out well.
I know I have taken on a challenge for myself but I think that is the point of 20-time. I don't think going for something easy is the best option for me. Challenges are fun and the joy in accomplishing them is one of a kind because you get to tell people about your achievements and what you learned from your failures. Overall, this even applies to life. I think this is the hardest part of my project, starting it! But I feel like once its all set up and running I will be able to enjoy this project a little more. But then again, starting anything is hard, the fun starts once you get into it! I am hoping for a club that will help my school become more aware about all the beautiful cultures there are. Culture is such a beautiful thing and it can bring us all together and that is my goal for this club. I want to show people that putting aside our differences we are really similar. I am researching a lot about other cultural clubs around the country. I think the research , while it is hard, will be worth while and helpful to get started.
I am also reading The Alchemist for my choice book. I wanted to chose something closer to leadership but then I came across this book and the book is a fable about following your dreams. That's when it hit me. This book is perfect because following my dream is exactly what I am doing and that's what everyone should do. I like the book so far because it keeps me wondering. Just like life! You never know what's in store for you :)
With love,
V

Investigación
Hola amigos,
Espero que todos son bien. Estoy investigando para mi 20-time ahora y es un poco dificil para mi porque haciendo un club es difícil. Pienso que este parte es más difícil de todos otras partes. Yo investigue mucha en el internet para mi proyecto y buscó que hay muchas clubs de cultura en Michigan. Espero que mi club es como IASA. IASA es Indian American Student Association. En Michigan IASA es un club en Plymouth Canton Community Schools en Canton, MIchigan. IASA es un grande parte de Universidad de Michigan también, y es el segundo mas grande club. Pienso que hay 500 miembros. Para mi club de cultura, quiero incluir todos personas. Pienso que necesitas ayuda a comenzar mi club.
Yo imagino un club para mi escuela que incluye personas de todos culturas. Espero hay un reunion para mi club uno o dos veces en un mes. Quiero que los miembros del club aprenden sobre otras culturas y enseñan para su cultura también. si nosotros venimos juntos y ayudar nuestracomunidadd, es muy bein.
