The start of a new chapter

Tomorrow evening I will start a new chapter in my life and one I am very excited about: my masters of social work program. I have always dreamed of one day telling people that I am in grad school and that finally has become my reality. The best part about it is the fact that my dream happened because of my efforts and no one else's. I didn't need a man to help me get here or ride anyone's coattails to help me to get in, my own achievements were enough. I have rarely been as grateful and excited about any other opportunity in my life.
In the past year, I have truly felt as if my life has come full circle and this will be the final step around that circle. The pride I feel in myself is the highest that it's ever been and it feels so amazing to say that I can take all of the credit for that. I will never hold myself or allow myself to be held back again: the sky's the limit!!!
