YOU

knowing I’d sit there with a blank stare on my face while watching the clock slowly rotate.

I had little motivation left within me and felt like a failure. I am a consistent and dedicated student but I no longer felt that way. I let this one class define my potential both inside and outside of the classroom.

I have learned from this moment that I will make decisions that are independent of what others tell me. In the end, I know myself best and can only do what feels right. By following your own path, you have the opportunity to create a life that is authentic, fulfilled and uniquely yours. I am no longer afraid to pave my own path and stop walking in one that has already been made.
