Success

Nothing in life comes easy. As I got ready to jump in and start my day today, I only wondered how much further I could walk without falling over. I was overwhelmed by the struggle to finish the summer semester, to finish work, and just to have a day where I could relax without having a million thoughts running through my head. I survived the day full of rainy and cold Boston weather and did everything that I needed to. Got home and jumped into my Pj's and the softest socks I owned just to sit on the couch and watch repeating episodes of "Jersey Shore." I grabbed the mail to rip through the bills and junk that I usually get when I came across a letter from UMass. Automatically I thought, "fall tuition bill." I ripped through the envelope to find a letter and invitation cordially inviting me to join the international honor society for UMass based on the fact that I had placed in the top 15% of my graduating class. I laughed and thought to myself, "what an accomplishment." I called my family to tell them the good news and managed to have a smiling face for the rest of the night. It made me realize that although I have constantly been on the run and trying to figure things out and make them better, I finally reached the point where I have wanted to reach. I am getting to the success level I feel was made for me and although nothing came easy, hard work and dedication is paying off. I am just ready to graduate and take over the world.
