What seems like a crazy journey to this point in my life has been a basketful of blessings. In hindsight as difficult as they may have been, the detours I took were worth every moment. It makes this new initiation to the next chapter in my life that much more thrilling and rewarding.
What I can't believe, is how exhausting being back in school could be! Maybe it's the combination of excitement and acclimation that is overwhelming my body. Not to mention, trying to get to know 109 other people I'll be spending the next four years with.
I want to promise myself to have a good balance of academic, social, and healthy lifestyle habits before I delve too far into the semester and forget how grateful I am to begin writing this chapter of my life.
To every person I encountered that gave me encouragement, a momentary high, an unforgettable night out, a cherished excursion, and a valuable moment, thank you. I am here today because of you. If you don't know who you are, ask me and I will share a memory that brought me from 5 years ago to now. You are the people that count in my life.
