Graduating Saturday!!!! Wooo-Woo At one point or another, I hid from my accomplishments for fear of not living up to the expectations of others, for fear of being ridiculed and criticized. I feared the thought of another person finding the holes in my accomplishments and literally ripping it apart! I held onto this fear so deeply that soon enough I stopped discussing ideas and questioning my own intelligence whenever I was around such people; because the only thing I was guaranteed is immediate criticism over encouragement. I eventually learned that individuals such as these often criticize others as a side-effect of their own constant need for approval therefore; I was doing myself a disservice by allowing them to diminish the success I worked so hard for. It is true…I began my hard knock life journey sooner than some and was met with many challenges that derailed my aspirations as a result. I essentially learned that it is never an easy journey trying to rebuild myself, piece by piece, with no instruction book, and no clue as to where all the important bits are supposed to go but I was adamant to persevere! With that said, no hold bars…I am reveling in the fact that I have accomplished one of my most desired goals and no one can take this feeling away from me…I am now official as a referee with a whistle! Lol. Belinda Twumasi, B.S- Bachelor of Science in Human Services/Management Class of 2013!
