Me? Smart?

Today was parent teacher conferences at my school. I didn't expect teachers to say all of this good stuff about me, but they did. My teacher, Mr. G, signed a thing for my mom saying, "If Michelle does not get a 4 or a 5 on her US History AP exam, I will give you $80." I really don't think I'm that smart. He said I have a photogenic memory and he said that I have good analyzing skills. I know I'm good at analyzing but memory, I don't think so. Well, maybe. lol.. also, I bet Sarah $10 that I wouldn't get a 4 or a 5 on the US History AP exam.. and she bet me $10 that I would. Mr. G already said that he's going to write a lot of recommendation to all of the different colleges for me. He also told my mom that I would be able to get into IV League schools(I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to look spelled.. but for those of you who don't know what that is, it's the top colleges). He thinks I'd be able to make it into some top colleges!?!?!?! I don't think I could or want to.

It's always been my dream to go to a Christian College. I mean, I don't care how much money I make.. at all! I just want to do what I want to do. That makes me scared if I could make it into some top colleges. What if God doesn't want me to go to a Christian college? What if he wants me to go to the big colleges that all of the smart people go to? That makes me scared. I don't want to drop my dreams of going to a Christian College and go to one that's definitely not. God could probably use me as a witness to a lot of people in the not Christian colleges ... but I would rather be at a Christian College.. studying God's word.

This is something I'm going to really need to pray about. Sometimes people need to drop what they want to do.. to do what God wants them to do. God already knows what he wants to do with my life. I just hope that I realize it and take the plunge.
