There are times when I step back and look at my life, as if I were looking through a window. I think about all the wonderful people that Grand Valley State University has brought into my life and I am filled with gratitude. It is crazy to think people I've known for around 4 months mean so much to me than some people I've known for years. It truly shows the significance of age and maturity. Each person close to me brings something to the table that completes our family. They don't know they're apart of this family, but I include them in mine because they are so special to me.
Whenever someone is going through something, one of us is always there to catch them if they fall. There is never a time I feel alone, and when I do it can easily be fixed with a text to go meet up. Everyone has their unique flaws that make them beautiful.
I truly hope, everyones college experience, is what they dreamed of. New friends, different atmosphere, and of course their social life sky rockets meeting new people!
Right before I left for school, the best advice I was given was to get involved, make something of myself, and share it with others, possibly even inspiring them. So this is a shoutout to all the wonderful, beautiful people I have met. You have touched my heart in a way that cannot be erased. I am inspired every single day by each of you, your motivation, difficulties, successes, setbacks, accomplishments, and everything else you do. Your love for life, makes me feel the love for mine. If your light is dark at the end of the tunnel, I will guide you through to the light, because each of you are my blessings.
