Your biggest obstacle is yourself. You can accomplish anything if you want it. No one has the ability to stop you, except for you. Don?t be afraid to voice your interests and embrace the passion to follow your dreams, even if its not the popular idea. Some friends will fade away from you, but new ones will appear as well. Just understand that this is all apart of life?s wonder and use it to your advantage. Use everyday as a reason to share love and spread awareness, and wear confidence like a pair of designer jeans. Make opportunities for yourself because the worse that can happen is that you try again tomorrow. Most importantly? Never lose your gift of compassion. Strive for the best in your education, but also volunteer for those who are less fortunate. Remember, you are worthy of the best.

I f I had the oppurtunity to go back, I would adjust my family dynamic and seperate my emotions from my education. I would also distanced my self from the college choice I had originally made and being near a Metropolis. The exploration side of life was to easy to take. My family's well being and my travels put me in a awkward state were some thing had to be sacrificed. It was my education. It took a few years for me to overcome adversity to realize I can balance more education in my life. I feel with the growth that i have achieved, success can still come in me obtaining my educational growth.
