Responsibility

Well I found out today that I apparently have some very high expectations set of me. I hope I don’t come off pompous here, but a few people mentioned that I was ‘the smartest person they’ve met in high school’ and they expected me to go to a high prestige college or something like that. Though the people who know me a bit better know how much I slack and how stupid I can be. But I almost felt like I would be letting people down if I didn’t go to some crazy smart school and didn’t land a big job. I have never had high expectations from parents or family and a few teachers may have had them, but I crushed them quite quickly sophomore and junior year. On the other hand, I know that I don’t measure my success by going to a prestigious school or having a high paying job, but by how close I follow the Lord. Regardless, it was a good reminder that I have talents and gifts God has given me and I shouldn’t waste them. “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” -1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)
