Prepared<br />

WHEN PEOPLE MAKE FUN<br />

OF MY BIG PURSE/HUGE SUITCASE<br />

I grin and say, “Always be prepared!”<br />

Okay, so maybe being prepared doesn’t mean bringing<br />

twenty different pairs of pants on a weekend vacation<br />

(because I totally haven't done that before). But it does mean<br />

being ready for anything! Here's some tips on how you can be<br />

prepared for ANYTHING.<br />

You’ve heard about this before—but have you actually<br />

ever made one? Grab a bag—not too big, but not too<br />

small. Make sure you include a few band-aids, some<br />

chapstick, rubber bands, and emergency toiletries. In<br />

1.<br />

my ideal emergency kit, I'd also have snacks. But hey,<br />

that's just a suggestion.<br />

Make an emergency kit.<br />

2. Whether you’re attending a class or spending a week at<br />

camp, make sure you have all the details. Lots of camps<br />

have websites with checklists for everything you’ll<br />

need to bring, as well as sample schedules so you’ll<br />

know what your average day will look like. Some camps<br />

even have verse sheets so you can start learning verses<br />

before you get to camp—what a life saver! For classes,<br />

make sure you have all your required textbooks and<br />

test forms. Check the rules (Are you allowed to bring<br />

computers? What do you do if you’re absent a lesson?).<br />

Check the details.<br />

3.<br />

You can apply this to every area of your life. Recheck<br />

test and quiz answers; make sure that you closed the<br />

garage door; affirm that you have all your books and<br />

homework for class; check you have a slip on; verify<br />

you don’t have food on your face; check, check, check!<br />

Check TWICE!<br />
