The Past Year

The past year has been eventful to say the least. I started the year at close to 250 pounds and came down to finish at 193. More was shed than just weight, but I also released a long held burden. In addition, I discovered my passion, creating music. Originally, it had been something I contemplated pursuing, but through the experiences of this year, I have become convinced that it is my calling. More importantly, I found my closest friends this year. People who I imagine myself spending time with for years to come, and that is something I had never previously experienced. Although my grades never became what I wished, I built a new work ethic, I established a new faith in my friends, and as cliche as this may sounds, I really feel as if I "found myself." Overall, I would characterize my junior year as being pretty remarkable.
