THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Well I did it, I finished college! After almost 5 years of college I finally finished! I spent 2 1/2 years at Darton College in Albany as a Special Education major. My last semester there I decided that's not what I really wanted to do. I could have become a special ed. teacher and done that every day till forever but I wouldn't be happy. I just would have been another person who hates there job but is stuck there. I won't be that person! However, I did have a little rough patch and I didn't graduate from Darton(A problem about skipping classes and failing statistics lol). But anyways I decided that if I am going to something for the rest of my life then it's going to be something that I absolutely love doing. So I chose photography. I got accepted to Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Ga. I was excited to be doing something that I love and to be going to an art college instead of a regular one lol, but I was also really scared. I was scared to be living by myself way from everyone I know . But after a very hard and sometimes very loooong 2 years and 3 months I FINISHED! IT'S DONE! IT'S OVER! It is such a relief to finally know that I don't have to worry about all of that any more. Now it's just finding a job and supporting myself to worry about but that's a whole nother deal lol. My last day was Thursday March 11 but it didn't really hit me just how good it feels until the other day when I realized that those feelings of never being able to make it, not get through it, can't live here, can't do this, etc. all of those feelings are gone! That scared, depressed, hopeless feeling is gone! I thought that those 2 years would feel like forever and now there over. I know that when tough times are ahead of you they feel like they will never end but then when it's over you look back and think wow I made it, I did it. It seems to happen in the blink of an eye. People always say that the older you get the fast time goes by and I am glad that it's true when it comes to hard times. So here's to the hard times that I made through. To the horrible feelings I felt but persevered on. Here's to those of you who are going through tough times and feel like it will never end. Keep on pushing through and you'll make it.

I DID IT! I'M A COLLEGE GRADUATE!!!!
