I love my family and home more than anything. I love how comfortably I fit into my life here. It's amazing to know I have somewhere were I feel so calm and relaxed. I am lucky to have a place like this and people who love me so much. Honestly, I don't really want to leave. I don't want to leave my family and friends. They are who have made me who I am today and I miss sharing my life with them. I know they will all be here when I return, but goodbyes are never easy.
Though I have been blessed, I've realized maybe I've grown too comfortable in this life. That is why tomorrow I will get on the plane and go into the unknown. I am unbelievably blessed to be able to study across the country, meet so many incredible people, and experience things I wouldn't have been able to experience here. As hard as it is to be so far from all of my loved ones, I know it is important for me to leave. To make them proud I will continue to do my best even if it's on my own. In only one semester I have grown so much, but I know I have much more to learn and see.
I know this next semester is going to change me even more. I am excited to see what else it brings my way and am ready for it!
