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 />

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 />
