I received my diploma today from the University of Arizona. The tactical affirmation that a chapter of my life is officially over.... This was simply chapter two, however. Tomorrow the new chapter of my life begins. A chapter filled with possibility (and a ton of student debt). I can't help but stop and reminisce of everything it took to get here. The drive, the perseverance, the support, the doubt, the trials and the tribulations. Most importantly. The will. I did because of family, friends and desire. I did it in spite of fear, naysayers and myself.
Today marks a proud day for me, my loved ones and my future. I have met my most formidable foe face to face and slew him. With this victory at my heels, tomorrow brings a new more exciting battle of which I am more prepared for.
Thank you to everybody who helped or inspired along the way of my adventure.
