The Holiday's have just passed and I am sure we all were left with a great feeling of satisfaction. Not only are most college applications in, but we are done with our first semester of our high school senior year. The hectic holiday season is also over (with New Years being the only "holiday" left) and for the first time in months we are able to breathe and relax.
That's all great but we are not 100% worry free...there are still scholarships to think about and those final Common Application deadlines and the tedious AP winter break homework. I just wanted to take a break and for a few minutes express my gratitude. I am grateful for having an amazing family who I was able to spend Christmas with. I am grateful for the lovely presents I received. I am thankful for being able to be awaiting a new year with my family and friends. I am thankful for all the great friends I have, who have been supportive and a breath of fresh air every time I spend time with them. I am thankful for all the great teachers I have had that have inspired in me academic curiosity. I am thankful for all the adults and counselors who assisted me during the university application season.
Specifically I'd like to thank my mother. My mother, who is probably the person who closest understands me. Her strength, courage and patience never failed to encourage me. Thanks to her I was able to make it through those all nighters. Seeing how hard she works every day and her incredible resilience have provided me with the best example of how to be a successful and productive woman in this country. Thank you mother for teaching me and helping me so much. I love you.

LIFE AFTER THIS BLOG POST
I wrote myself a letter here that I will get in about a year. I don't know what the future holds for me but I am definitely excited. In about a year I will be exploring my new college campus (hopefully) and adjusting to the college life, with all its perks and downfalls.
Writing a letter to a future me is something that I have done before. I remember doing it for Mrs. Byrne's Honors English 2 class. At the time I saw no value whatsoever in it and did it only because I had no choice. I received the email towards the end of my Junior year and it was quite an impact. I felt so emotional to hear from past me and read all that nonsense I said to myself. It's a good reminder of how unpredictable the future is because at the time I wrote the letter my life was going in a direction that had completely changed by the time I received it a year later. I'm excited to receive this new letter and see what new 360 degree changes my life takes.
