all in all

Well, the semester is coming to an end. We have the rest of this week and next week and we're done...until finals! In a few short weeks I will be watching as many of my friends walk across the stage at minge's Collesium to graduate and begin a new chapter in their lives. I unfortunately will not be joining them due to no internship...BUT my time will come. (hopefully December). I know that God has great things instore for me this summer and up coming fall and I'm excited to see what lies ahead. I can't believe that 4 years is already done and over with. It seems like just yesterday I was graduating high school, moving in to my dorm here and being homesick all first semester. I've gone through the many obstacles over the years. From leaving my bubble in Charlotte, to being homesick, to overcoming a heart problem, to making and losing friends, having fights and making up, passing my classes, making honor roll, deans list, and chancellors list, moving in to an apartment, and the list could go on...but now as I finish out my last few months in this apartment I am filled with happiness, sadness, joy, and fear. I'm happy I made it this far and I didn't give up although I wanted to many times, I'm sad I'll be leaving the life I know here, the friends I have made and the amazing times that I have had, I am joyful to see what God has in store for me, where he wants me and how he wants to mold me. I am fearful of this new chapter in life because just like college, it was something new, it was a change, and I never knew what might come next. However, I am blessed with having had this opportunity to be an ECU Pirate and and ECU Pirate I will always be!!
