Dear Inspiration,
Where do I even begin? You're one of the most hardworking and thoughtless people I've come to know. The passion that you put into each and every one of your projects is definitely contagious because as I find myself wandering through my time at college, I can feel the need to be at my best at all times creeping behind me and it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've been given so much already in this little life of mine and I couldn't be more thankful. But let's be honest, there isn't just one single person that inspires me to be this way.
To My Parents
Everything you both have gone through and given up just so that we could have everything you couldn't pushes me to do my best. It reminds me that what I do now not only with have an impact on my future, but my future family's as well.
Plus the fact that you're able to let me spread my wings and go off and do what I not only want but need to do speaks measures. Thank you for always letting me test the waters whether it's playing an instrument you've never played, going to a university out of the state or pursuing a career in a field that you know is dying.
To My Siblings
I'm sad that I'm more than 300 miles from home but even though you're not here with me, I know I have to always do my best for the two of you. Being the oldest I know, even now, that I always have to set the example and continue to succeed so you have someone worthy to look up to. And just that fact alone makes me continue to do my best.
Hopefully I've been able to be the role model for the both of you that I know I need to be. But if you ever need anything, family is family and I will always be there if you need me.
To My Friends
Holy crap, do my friends do amazing things. From working in biology labs to interning on presidential campaigns to working with animals in a field that is super interesting to owning their own businesses, you all do such amazing things. And seeing that so early in one's college career inspires me to do the same and be as well versed as you.
I've changed my path because I saw an outlet that would suit my wants and desires much more than my original path, and if it weren't for all of you I never would've thought deep enough to want to change. And for that I thank you all.
I can't thank you all enough for the journey that is mine and the influence you've had in the life that I live. Truly I am blessed to have the greatest people cheering me on through every step I take and every decision I make.
Stay hungry, stay foolish and continue to do all of the amazing things that you do. Who knows? You may be inspiring more than you think.
