Summer 2017 has taught me so much about myself and others than any other summer.
I learned in order to get the full experience of anything, you have to be open and willing to go through the experience, whatever it may be. I am truly thankful for this summer because it was a challenge that consisted of many roadblocks and triumphs that forced me to keep going. I am finally in a space I need to be which is showing gratitude and thankfulness for everything from the big things to the small things.
