I saw a dream. Five years ago, and today I am one step away from reaching it. Just one. I am scared, nervous and exited. What if I screw it up like I did last time? What if its not right for me anymore? What if what happened four years ago happens again?
But I am not the same person I was four years ago and in a way, I am glad I got rejected four years ago.. Cause their rejection got me here.
So before I move on, think about all my insecurities for the future.. I think its time for a flash back.
To these four years.
Four years ago I, a confused soul, with thousands of questions in my head, stepped in here, hoping to find a lot of things.. Now its time to move on, to get outside this secured paradise into the the real world, and looking back I realize, The School of Liberal Studies never gave me what I came looking for...
I came here to find answers, I found more questions
I came here to find words, I found new languages
I came here to find a destination, I found new paths
I came here to find a closure, I found opportunities
I came here to find knowledge, I found wisdom
I came here to follow, I learned how to lead
I came here to find friends, I found family
I came here to find teachers, I found guides and mentors,
I came here to find a campus, I found a second home.
I came looking for art, I found creativity,
I came looking for direction, I found myself
I came looking for a career, I found life.
SLS never gave me what I wanted, it gave me much more.. More then I can put in words and more than I could imagine. As my heart sinks at the thought of how much I will miss this place any every single thing associated to it, with memories to cherish for a lifetime and a new family to make proud I prepare to move forward.

P.s. As my head continues to resist the change ahead and memories hit the replay button, you can expect nostalgic, trying to accept the change, and my love for this campus life posts in the coming months! :P
Love Always
