GROWING UP

On May 1, 2015

I was able to Graduate with my

Masters of Education in Psychology

and School Counseling Degree

from 

Utah State University

GRADUATION.

With one word, life changes dramatically.

For two years, I have anxiously awaited this glorious ceremony.

However, it came, and just like that

IT WAS OVER.

Mama. My supporter.

my desk buddy and lifelong lovely friend, Julie

cute Megan

Lovely Molly

Dr. Carolyn Barcus - her influence is indescribable. 

Is this real life? 

I keep pinching myself in order to really grasp the concept of existence.

I do exist. 

TIME FLIES.

I am finished with classes, coursework, practicums and internships.

In all honesty, I was not prepared to have this

long awaited day be over in a matter of what seemed like SECONDS.

I wanted to relish in all its' glory.

It still seems surreal.

I am still processing. 

Don't get me wrong, I am excited for new beginnings

but I guess I didn't expect things to go by so quickly.

TIME FLIES.

THINGS CHANGE.

I AM GROWN UP.

I AM AN ADULT, MAKING ADULT DECISIONS.

AM I READY FOR THESE CHANGES?

I will miss my cohort. 

They are truly remarkable.

Truly BFF's.

To answer  the above stated question: 

YES!

I am ready.

For so long, I have doubted my abilities and

now I finally realize that 

I DO have potential. 

I AM a capable, hard working and responsible person.

I AM worthy of having a professional career.

I AM smart.

I AM good enough.

I CAN do hard things.

With God, all things are possible.

I feel blessed beyond measure.

The Lord truly has a plan for me.

He wants me to grow and become

the person He knows I can be.

Things have and will continue to work out, as

long as I have faith in His plan for me.

My family 

has also been such a support to me

during my Graduate experience,

but also with the upcoming changes that are going to take 

place in the next months.

I am fortunate to have such a wonderful family.
