2016 is upon us and this is the time where we reflect and look within to make changes so that our future is better. To start off, 2015 had its ups and downs but I do not regret the major decisions I made such as leaving CT and moving to CO or taking the job at Aspen Camp. I loved my time there even when there were major annoyances. I had been wanting to move out on my own for quite some time, so moving away from the place I grew up to start over was definitely the right move. I feel more than ready to embark on my own and see what God has in store for me.
As much as I am grateful for what my parents have been to me and have down for me growing up, there comes a time where a child must leave. So being in CO has opened many possibilities and new friendships have been forged. I know that there will be many more.
Now as 2016 starts my desire is to find a place of work that allows me to be free to be me and help me grow in my writing. I'm still pursuing my dream of being a NY Times Bestseller and I refuse to give up on that. In 2015, I have published a short story inspired by a dear friend of mine and a research paper I co-authored with fellow Ithaca College classmates and professors.I know as I continue to write and send it to publishers I will be able to make my dream come true.
To make my 2016 better than my 2015, I want to be the friend I've always wanted, be the person I look up to and also be the one to speak my mind especially when something bothers me. For too long I've let people take an axe to my heart; no more. I will demand respect for my race, my disability and myself. Things are going to change for the better this year.
Have a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!
