List of Priorities?

I have just come to the realization that my list of priorities might need some reworking. Right now the list goes as follows:
1. School
2. Future job
3. Music
4. 4-H
5. Co-op

Because of the fact that it needs some tweaks here and there, over the next few days I will devote a bit of time to each priority, giving why it's a priority and why it might need to be moved down, up, or off my list. I will start from the bottom and work my way up.

Co-op...this has been an important, though momentary, priority for me because to me, co-op means friends. I know that I would not have the great group of friends that I have now if I wasn't in co-op. I also wouldn't be playing guitar, nor would I be learning how to write a good SAT essay. I also would never have had the outlet that I need for my natural dramatic tendencies. ;-) Yes, co-op has served an important part in my life, but I am now ready to move on.

When I firsted started co-op, I was looking for friends and people my age who understood all the little annoyances of being homeschooled. I found that and I am praying that I will never lose those people. Now, however, I am seeing that my time in co-op is done. The majority of the classes are for kids, not young adults. I see the end of co-op, and even though I am sad about leaving it, the majority of me is looking forward to it. I am grateful for this experience, but I am ready to move on to the next step in my life: college. I am not thinking "I wonder what I'm gonna do in co-op this Friday." I'm thinking "How on earth will I pay for college?" "When should I start working?" "How much does this college cost?" "What can I get done in hs school to make college easier?" "How much can I take at my community college so that university will be easier?" So, though co-op has been wonderful, I know, understand, and am ready accept that co-op will soon be over for me.

Later!
