2017 is a special year for me, mostly because I will be graduating from college in May. However, that is not the only thing that I am excited for, with this year, I will promise myself to stay focused and determined on what really matters. 2016 was the year that I really found myself and it has been hard to remain true to who I really am. I am thankful for all that life threw at me because it has made me ten times stronger. By this time next year, I hope to be living in the city and creating the life I have always wanted. I have carried this goal with me for many years and this is the year for it. I am so proud of how far I have came because it is proof that we can all handle anything. We all have trials in our life and it can be easy to get caught up in them, but this is when we should persevere and push through.

This article is short and sweet, but a little reminder on what to keep in mind as the new year begins!
