Let's go back to December 2013. If you knew me then, you knew that I was stressing about a million and one different things going on in life. The reality of graduation was setting in. I was struggling with different relationships with my friends. Above all, I had NO idea what I wanted to do. I decided to apply to JVC on a whim, less than a month before the application was due.
Fast forward to September 16th, 2014.
As I was walking into work this morning, it was the first time since starting this process that I was able to say I am 100% positive that I made the right decision so many months ago. Here I am in my kitchen in a house I've shared with five of the most amazing women the past month and a half. I've met the most amazing people. I've seen the most beautiful sunsets. I work with the cutest kids every day. Being so far away from essentially everything and everyone I know has given me the best opportunity to strengthen the relationships that are important to me (I've Skyped my friend in Argentina at least three times since being here). I value every phone call home, and I look forward to it every day. I've actually picked up the phone and called people who's voice I had almost forgotten because we rely so heavily on texts nowadays. I actually call my brother at UVM, because I know I cant rely on seeing him every month or so.
Looking back on where I've been, where I am now, and where I am going, I leave you now with a quote I found yesterday that I felt really connected to:
"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer
to carry rain or usher storm, but to add
color to my sunset sky.”
-Rabindranath Tagore
