When we all embark on new journeys with excitement. As working adults we enroll in college
excited for change and personal growth. Some
enroll seeking promotion in a career, financial security, new knowledge, and
some just enjoy learning. Along the way
we encounter obstacles that bring us through struggle, frustration, stress, and
even fear. Life gets in the way and can
distract our goals, for me that distraction was ten years long. But today, I have arrived at the end of my journey and will be graduating with my B.A. in Communication Studies.
We all have heard the saying “Life happens” and it does,
but when we look back we realize that everything we have been through plays a
role in the development of our personal character and who we are as a
person. It all has purpose.
Influences around us develop our genes and traits. Sometimes
these very influences limit us from being able to experience opportunities; but
we should always seek to learn, grow and develop. When we do we will find genes and traits within
us that we never knew existed.
I can’t stress to anyone how important it is to believe in
themselves and embark on their journey to fulfill whatever goal it is they have
left dormant in the inside. We can do
anything we put our minds to with hard work and perseverance. It is our choice. Never let your environment or circumstances
hinder your dreams or growth for too long.
