Number One Best Moment In 2016

May 18, 2016, Graduation Day

The number one moment I would say is the best is my graduation day, which was on May 18, 2016. I will never forget the day I sat with the class of 2016 and walked across the stage when Ms. Bih Gamnje called my name, "Leielt Azanaw." On the other side of the stage were NJROTC cadets raising their swords when I approached. Reason why? I was a part of the program in high school. I was so happy. My family screamed my name from the audience,"Go Leieltya!" As family and friends cheered for the class of 2016, everyone was so happy.

Not only was my graduation the best moment in 2016, knowing all these wonderful people in the past couple of years and now graduating with them is a great blessing. Everyone I truly love and call friends is not in the photo, but they know who they are.

I never thought I would have gone this far. Without my friends, I never would have made it. I made memories I will never forget.

Other Moments That Are The Best

Every day I've spent on this earth is the best moment in my life, not just in 2016. Yes, there may be times when I have my worst moments. For example, when I was cleaning and somehow dropped my iPhone 5C into a bowl of milk, which I find quite funny. Since my phone dropped into milk, my speaker barely works, but my phone is still somewhat in shape. Time for a new phone in 2017. Don't you agree?

I've got to say I'd enjoyed my years at Friendly High School. I was a part of the Academy of Health & Bio Sciences, and I'd learned a lot. I loved the class and had known these Patriots of Friendly for quite some time.

Even when we don't really keep in touch with each other anymore, they are still family. I know God has a plan for them. Whatever God has planned, I bet you it is the greatest plan of all. Best wishes!

Nyack College, Nyack, NY

Finally, I've been a part of the Nyack College family! I am now a proud Warrior! Ever since I came to Nyack College, I've experienced more than I ever imagined. I've met new people, and the moments I have had have been the best ever. I have not had any of my worst moments here at Nyack. I think my years at Nyack will be very interesting with more of the best and worst moments to come. As one of my professors said in this past semester, "Welcome to college."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
