End of a Chapter


I've finished yet another chapter in my book and I'm very eager to start a new one. A bittersweet feeling that has finally caught up to me. Four and a half years of blood, sweat, and tears, and I can finally say " I'm done!" As big of an accomplishment as it was, I believe my college experience had more to do than just books and grades. It was more than just an experience, it was a turning point in my life. I've grown out of my immaturity phase and finally caught a glimpse of adulthood. I found myself being independent more and more each day. I took the initiative to seek for motivation in myself to excel in anything I did. GRV has been my sanity for the pass four and a half years and has taught me many lessons in life. It's not just a dance team, it's a family. Only a handful of people truly know how much I've given and sacrificed for the team. I do not ask for anything in return, but for them to simply appreciate what and who has paved the way and to continue to grow as a family. Along with my college experience this too needs to come to an end. I am very grateful for those I've met along the way and will cherish those memories forever.

I must look ahead and not turn back. Although every time I turn my head, I see my past, and I see all those faces that have influenced me along the way. My life has changed and this new career of mine has taken all precedence. I had breakfast with the daddyo this weekend and he told me that the one thing he admired about me the most is that I am a risk taker. He said I am not afraid of anything. I have stepped out of my box, out of my norm, to seek the unlimited opportunities that awaits me.

I hope this decision of mine will only bring great things in life and no regrets. I'm not running away or making excuses. It has become easier for me to take these leaps of faith because I have nothing to lose, no one to hold me back but myself.
