Roadmap

Relaxation

• The breeze plays with my hair as the waves
  gently wash away my thoughts of reality. I push
  my arm gently against the wood holding up my
  hammock and I begin to rock as if to hypnotize my
  entire body into happy peaceful tranquility. I
  pick up my book and continue to read

Spirit

• Orange paints the landscape of the stadium as a
  bead of sweat drips from my cowboy hat. There is
  a hectic, dense, anxious feeling in the air as
  the football team takes the field. The rising
  sound seems to vibrate my entire body down
  through the butterflies in my throat to my soul.
  We wont be sitting down until after we sing the
  eyes of texas after the final whistle.

Friends

• This picture best describes my friends. This was
  taken the second my name was called as winning an
  at large seat in Student government. My friends
  came out from everywhere to help me accomplish
  what I felt passionate about. You might think
  that friends are not a place, but they are for
  me. They are where I feel most comfortable. Where
  I can relate to others. They are what keep me
  smiling, focused, and selfless. No words can
  describe when a friend drops what they are doing
  to ensure you are happy or to bring you soup when
  you are sick, or even to trip in a packed movie
  theater in order to get a laugh out of you.
  Friends are my favorite retreat.

Family

• My family is my everything. I am very close to
  them. We talk on the phone almost once a day
  still. I dont have to be in any place with them.
  Just talking on the phone takes me somewhere
  else. I am relaxed and happy. My parents have
  sacrificed so much for me and I truly look up to
  them as role models. They are nurturing yet give
  me space to learn for myself. When I am in my
  family space there is an amazing sense of
  pride. I know that no matter what I do, what
  piercings, tattoos, Britney Spears style
  weddings, weekend trips to Mexico etc. they will
  always be there for me. The best way I can
  describe this feeling is when you find a pillow
  that fits you perfectly as you lay your head
  gently into it. The sides of the pillow move up
  around your head to support you and the cloth
  soothingly brushes your face and you feel at
  peace. This is my family.

Spirituality

• My spirituality is a special place that I
  reserve only for myself. It is where I
  communicate with God. I feel extremely
  uncomfortable sharing about my spirituality. It
  is a locked door. A place where I can go and know
  that no one can follow. This is where I sort out
  the pieces of my life. This is the drawing board,
  the board of directors, the guardian of my true
  self. I can go here anytime, walking to class, in
  the shower, in my dreams, or in church. My
  spiritual beliefs have been the driving force of
  my road trip of life. It has put me here in this
  classroom giving this presentation. I know it
  will lead me where I need to go with an open
  mind, an open heart, and a laugh.
