Started off the night feeling bad for myself; Im taking a summer course thats been pretty intense, and I dont plan on getting more than 2-3 hours of sleep at most. However, before I could really feel sorry for myself, I realized how silly I was being for feeling that way to begin with. I am SO blessed to live in a country where I have the opportunity to be a young, educated woman. I often think of my grandparents, all of whom had to leave school with no more than an elementary school education, in order to work. Im so blessed to be healthy and able-bodied, regardless of how much I argue over having working out. ;) Im so blessed to feel financially secure. In that, Im thankful to have parents that provided me with what I NEEDED, and instilled in me the determination and work ethic to earn what I WANTED on my own. In my younger years, I was envious of people whose parents bought them new cars, paid their rent, their tuition...all while I struggled to cover my expenses out of my pocket. That struggle showed me the value of money, and has taught me to be financially responsible. Im proud of the fact that Ill be able to graduate from college completely debt-free, and still have the money and resources to continue my education afterwards. Although they may not always be the nicest, Im proud of the car, the apartment, the education, and all of the other things that Ive been able to get on my own. Im blessed to have people in my life that love me unconditionally, despite my quirks and flaws (and believe me, I have a lot of them). I am continuously falling short of being able to provide the love that I know they deserve, but somehow theyre still sticking around. Lastly, Im blessed to have crossed paths with all of you, in one way or another. Be you teachers, friends, family, coworkers, army buddies... youve all had an impact on me at some point, and some of you continue to, whether you know it or not. Thank you all.
