Dreams Don't Have An Expiration Date

A few years ago I started to write blogs, particularly anything that was on my mind. Anything that I felt I wanted to express to others. I don't have any real reason on why I stopped, but I want to continue to write again. Enjoy!

When I was a freshman at Shippensburg University (August of 2009) I was sitting in my room on a Friday with no plans so I made a bucket list. To this day I still have the same list in my laptop case.

Within the past three years I have lost a lot, but I have also accomplished some dreams I never would have thought been possible in 2009.

Here are a few of my goals and dreams I have accomplished since 2009.

-In 2009 I jumped out of a plane.....yes I went skydiving!

-I was the first person in my immediate family to graduate college.

-I am the first person to ever attend Graduate school in my immediate family.

-I had the opportunity to go to the beach for the first time in my life this past June (Virgina Beach).

-In January I was the first person in my family to ever travel out of the country as I went on a service learning trip to Jamaica.

This picture is one of the first pictures I took in Jamaica. The country was beautiful, and the people were amazingly special.

You may be asking what is my purpose for writing this blog?

This isn't about me, this is about letting you know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.

It doesn't matter if it takes you 5 years or a week. If you can put your heart into something that you really care about then the possibilites are endless.

One of my favorite quotes someone told me at my internship in 2008 was

Whenever I see the word IMPOSSIBLE, I SEE THE WORDS IM POSSIBLE.

I tried keeping this short and sweet, so if there is anything you get from reading this I hope tomorrow you wake up believing in yourself.

Monday is a new day, a new opportunity, a new beginning. GO GET IT!!
