Realizing the Value of Realistic Fairy Tales

Sometimes I wonder if Fairy Tale Princesses have to deal with getting chapped lips when they have a cold or finding an awesome but reasonably priced birthday gift for their nephew. Maybe if we decided to bring our fairy tales down a notch to 'not completely perfect' we would still have something to dream for , but it would be more realistic and maybe even attainable. Maybe that's the problem. Our fairy tales aren't realistic enough; so, we always end up being disappointed. I've Finally Come To A Conclusion!

Fairy Tales were great as kids and still are, but sometimes we need to face reality and focus on achievable dreams. So what is an achievable fairy tale for me. You see, every one's classic fairy tale is/ was pretty much the same, so obviously they don't come true for all of us. We are all different and have different passions, hopes, and aspirations. Therefore, we all need our own realistic fairy tales.

So what is my realistic fairy tale?

*I hope to have my AA in Liberal Studies by the end of the 2009-20010 school year.

*I hope to get my BA in K-8 education whether that be at Utah State or Weber State or CSUS --(or where ever Heavenly Father says I should go in 2010) within 5 years.

* I hope that sometime within my college years or shortly thereafter I will to led toward going on a mission or marrying a temple worthy man (of course if it is Heaven;y Father's will for my life)

*After college I hope to start teaching, unless of course I am told to start my family (after my temple marriage).

There you have it! That is Kaylonnie Silver White's realistic Fairy Tale -- hopes, dreams, & aspirations mixed with the intent to do Heavenly Father's will for me and the knowledge that at this moment I may not know what is really good for my life in the next 10 years. I have come to the realization that trust, faith, and prayer are the keys to any realistic fairy tale, unlike the wishful thinking that came with my "classic fairy tale".
