“I’m 23… I’ll be 24 in July 2010… I’ve graduated from my Masters program in Florence Italy in June 2009 and also graduated from the University of Georgia in May 2008 with an undergraduate degree in Management and a minor in Spanish. Now I have a job where I am learning so much, but I still have goals for my education and I am still not sure what I want to do forever. I have moved out and am on my own for the first time and I love it… I love my city and I love the people I am surrounded by and loved by, but I realize every day that I am still maturing and growing as a person and I have realized that will never stop. I am grateful the people around me are willing to stick by me through it and allow me to make mistakes and still love me for who I am. I am the type of person who appreciates my age (even though sometimes I feel ‘old’ ... mid 20s crisis I suppose) because it allows me to travel, party, earn degrees, work, have relationships, skydive, drive, vote, and other important/fun things… but I also love the simplicity of childhood and still enjoy things like swimming, trampolines, hammocks, swings, and breezes. I love everything that life offers me every day but I often find myself taking it for granted. That is why I joined this site- to better recognize the gifts I already have and to realize how lucky I am to have goals as extravagant as mine that are actually within my reach. I am a loved and lucky person and want to help myself realize that more and more each day.”
