Fundraising. Such a word strikes fear into the hearts of many. But for those who have learned to tame the beast it can be quite worth it (although still painful).

Well I can tell you for certain I am yet to tame this dinosaur. My experience with my pet dinosaur (his name will be fundraising) has been an interesting one. At first I kind of stared him down with the look of "I know how to tame you. I am 18 and know everything". To be honest for the first little bit I actually thought I had him down. That is until I actually tried to ride him. Wow was I blown away! Who knew fundraising could be such a beast to tame! As I began to approach him more something else happened.

My trainer, God, decided I was done with the precautions I was taking and told me to try without! What! Was he mad!? Well maybe, but I knew to take his word on it as I was the student and he was the trainer (along with being the one who invented the method of taming dinosaurs in the first place. I know, I was learning from the best here).

From that point on I have been endlessly tackling my pet dinosaur fundraising head on. It hurts (allot), and I can say that he has thrown me onto the grown and trampled me a few times. From these experiences I can definitely say that I am learning allot of random things I never thought I would need to know. (Who knew dinosaurs had a thing for dog treats?). In the end the biggest thing I learned was to trust my trainer (God) even when I had no idea what I was doing. After all he invented the very first method of taming dinosaurs.

I am definitely looking forward to taming my pet dinosaur fundraising although I know I will take a few more bruises to get there.
