Theme of the Year:

As a freshman, my English lit professor told me that she believed the theme of my year was passion. It was all over my writing apparently, but I just never noticed. I’ve remembered many things that she has taught me about, but this is one that I will never forget. As I reflected back on my college years last night, I realized that I’ve had a new theme since then for every school year and that I have this professor to thank for that.

I may have started my college career with passion, but I would like to end it with creation. To create something is extremely powerful to me. It’s the idea of creating something with my hands, with my work, and with myself. Everything I’ve ever done is leading up to this moment right here. While on my daily reads last night, I found two inspirational pieces revolving around this theme and I wanted to share it with all of you!

This post is very similar to the resolution one, but I promise this is my last post having to do with the end of the year and the start of the year.
