Almost

I almost missed it. In the midst of Christmas, wanting for my final grade, Baileys birthday tomorrow and all the busy work that needs to be done, I almost missed my own milestone. I had successfully completed my first semester in college. How could I miss that? I had wanted to go for so long and I had dreamed of doing it and talking about it that when I started I dove head first and just kept swimming 😉. I swam past my first week, month, 2 month, the halfway point, and Thanksgiving. Focused on the next assignment, and what my To Do List said was next that I didn't even realize what I had accomplished till just now. Yup, 8:43 tonight. I, Summer N. Roderick, have gone from beginning to end of a full semester at college; AND PASSED! I have been so focused on my last 2 grades that I have not let myself realize what has been done. The Lord has kept me on this path, and He has most definitely sustained me. I very honestly was worried on August 28th if I was able to do this. Now I have signed up for more than double the credit hours for next semester. I joyfully celebrate all of my friends accomplishments and readily want them to know how far they have come. Now, I'm not trying to toot my own horn; however, how important is it to remember how far you have come yourself? I have grown so much in such a short amount of time that I do not recognize parts of myself. I feel as though I am more confident and sure of who I am. I am blessed to have such an amazing support system and wonderful family that this is beyond just me, this is a family accomplishment-we made it through mommy's first semester of school. Now, only a few more to go.

Please remember, that you have accomplished something too! Find it, celebrate it!
