For the first time in a while (or ever), I sensed how fast things have changed. This time last year I was sitting in my room back in Fayetteville staring at Scholarship Applications and wondering if Gardner-Webb University was truly the place I belonged. Now I realize that I am here and that I have purpose beyond just academia even though that is truly an important part of my life in this moment. The people I have met here have truly changed my life for the better, but at the same time they give me so many reasons to truly appreciate the friends that I have back home in Fayetteville or spread out on campuses all throughout the United States or wherever they are.
A friend of mine back home has definitely had a bigger impact on my life than he thinks he has, and I know that someday in near or distant future that he is going to change someone's life for the better and through that he will make a change in this world for the better. I'm sure he doesn't feel that way nowadays, but I believe in him and always have.
Why? Because True Potential can be seen, literally. You know when people are special and you know when things bother them more than they let on.
I am glad you have made a decision and finally seem to be moving forward towards something that is positive. I think we are still in that process of learning who we truly are, because it isn't really about changing who we are, but understanding who we were intricately made to be. You are meant for things bigger than what you are allowing yourself to achieve. You have alwaysbeen bigger than life and I hated seeing you letting life be bigger than you this past year. At first I wasn't sure about your decision, but as I write this hoping that one day you read it...that it really might be what you need right now.
Take this as an opportunity and allow it to direct you and when you come back lets make something of ourselves! We have a lot to prove.
"After a man has immersed himself in wisdom, he will be able to cope with Heaven and Earth and with ten thousand things in the world."
