So this by far is the hardest blog post I have had to write this summer. There aren't any words to describe how elated and excited I am. For anyone that knows me, you know that I am ticking time bomb of anxiety and would suspect that my upcoming semester has caused me great panic. But to both your surprise and my own, it has not. I have actually never been so calm in my life than I am today on the day I leave for Cape Town, South Africa for the fall semester of my junior year.
For a large majority of my life, nothing was ever easy. I was raised by a single immigrant mother and often left to fend for myself, it was a very difficult life to live at times so I had always vested myself in my education in hopes that my studies would be my key out of a very deprived childhood. I have spent most of my life always wondering why I was not as lucky as others to the point where I was very jealous but never revealed it in person. When you have no means of expressing this agony and anger, you fuel elsewhere and set your mind in a different direction so that these rotten feelings don't rot your soul. I decided in the midst of changing my mindset that I wanted to stop being jealous of other people living my dreams but pursuing my dreams.
I woke up this morning the happiest I have ever been because I am the girl whose life I envy the most and that is just fabulous.
See you in December, America.
P.S. I will try to update my blog as best as I can but as far as communication email is best. Close Family and Friends: I have Viber and Whats App on my phone. I'll keep in touch when I can. XOXO
