School starts in one week. I am finishing my final semester in my undergraduate career and I will earn a bachelor of arts in English.

20 years ago, I graduated from high school. I will celebrate that anniversary with my graduation from university.

I’ve never chosen the easy path. I tend to take the path less traveled. It has been a difficult journey but I think that’s what makes it that much more sweet.

I have EARNED this degree. I have worked my tail off to get it.

This semester I promise myself to make the best of it. I promise to enjoy it. I promise to take advantage of all it has to offer. I promise to put my best foot forward.

This semester, I will succeed.
