WELL I AM BACK.
AFTER SPENDING THE SUMMER ABROAD, I AM CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN TARLETON STATE UNIVERSITY. MAJORING IN COMMUNICATIONS, I HOPE TO ONE DAY BE INVOLVED IN ONE OF MY FIRST LOVES (NOT COUNTING THE MOST WONDERFUL WOMAN IN MY LIFE), JOURNALISM. I AM FINALLY IN THE GROOVE AT TARLETON. MY CLASSES ARE GREAT, I HAVE MET SO MANY NEW PEOPLE, AND AT LEAST THE FOOD HASN'T KILLED ME.
I WANT TO TAKE THIS TIME NOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED ME GET TO WHERE I AM NOW. THE JOURNEY ISN'T OVER, BUT I AM CLOSER NOW THAN I EVER WAS. TO MY FATHER, MOTHER, SIBLINGS, AND THE COUNTLESS NUMBER OF TEACHERS (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE), THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR HELPING ME TO BECOME THE YOUNG MAN I HAVE BECOME.
THIS I KNOW IS A TOUGH TIME IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY, BUT EVEN WITH THE TRAGEDIES THAT STRIKE US TO THIS DAY, I KNOW THAT OUR COUNTRY WILL PREVAIL AGAINST THOSE WHO WISH TO DO HARM TO OUR PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO WOULD DO HARM TO THEIR FELLOW AMERICANS. IN CLOSING, I WANT TO END WITH A QUOTE FROM THE LATE DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR, "WAR ANYWHERE INTENSIFIES THE POSSIBILITIES OF WAR EVERYWHERE". THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU FACE SOME FORM OF ADVERSITY IN YOUR LIFE.
GOD BLESS AMERICA,
