As I start to close this chapter of my life, a whirlwind of emotions swirl within me. I feel victorious over the ones that attempted to hinder me. I feel an air of excitement because of the new opportunities coming my way. I feel a new confidence because of the things I've achieved. I feel anxious because there is no telling what I'll end up doing. I feel a bit of anger towards the ones that didn't believe I would get here. Above all the others, I feel a renewed strength. I'm going to go as far as I want to and nothing is going to stop me... or those around me.
I consider my loved ones in every life decision I make. I rarely do anything just for myself. Most of the things I've done and continue to do are to prove a point to them. I want them to go out and do what they want to do, no matter how crazy their ideals are. I want my friends and family to excel in life, and I'm going to leave them with no excuses not to do so through my own example.
When I started my journey here in Indiana, I had nothing but three layers of clothes on and a backpack. I was afforded just one little and time limited opportunity, and I made the most of it. I took my ball to the court and went right for the goal. Soon after, that bag became an apartment of my own. After I settled, I got my own car. After the car, I established myself with a good working history and in the community around me. I took the nothing I had, and made it everything I could ever want.
After establishing myself in society, I took to the academics. After a few trial and errors, I found my niche. Through hell and high water, I fought to stay there and do what was needed to be done so I could make it. While success in this area would definitely do a lot for me financially and socially, those were not my motivations for doing so.
( No more excuses. )
