I never knew...

As I close the student chapter of my life for the 4th (and hopefully final!) time, I am recounting just how far I've come. This move to Boston, MSW program and academic year in particular have been challenging and have truly tested how strong I am. I have taken hit after hit and often thought that I would fail. I don't want to get all emotional but dealing with this year has taught me that I really should eliminate the word can't from my vocabulary. If I can't eliminate it, it needs to at least be used sparingly because in reality I can...I really can!

I have learned so much about myself and found that there are so many things that I never knew that I was capable of surviving. And while I haven't always been happy to have learned these things as I'm in the thick of the storm, in retrospect I am grateful for both the lesson and the experience. I'm seriously looking forward to being an active participant in my life from this day forward now that I can taste and smell the freedom of being DONE!
