College was meant to be my new beginning, my refresh button
Back then, I was looking forward not wearing uniforms any longer, the freedom and the fun
I wanted to discover worlds outside of my own little one
I wanted to experience a life that I wasn’t used to
One that was outside of my home and then school
Over the last few years
I’ve gotten to know and learn from some amazing people
And I continue to learn from them still
My peer and teachers
Are a support system , better than what I’ve prayed for
There have been times of darkness, when I got lost along the way
I’ve made mistakes, I’ve regretted them and wished I could erase them away , then.
Like this quote I came across a while back “God doesn’t want you to go through tough situations
He wants you to grow through them”
Now I see that holding on, no matter what the circumstance- has proved to provide best results
For After every night
The sun rises into a new day and there is Light.
College was meant to be my new beginning , my refresh button
A realization has hit me gradually, it wasn’t sudden.
And the brilliant thing about our lives is that – that’s what we get each and every single day
A fresh and beautiful new Today .
