I have learned so much. I have learned struggle. I have learned success. I've learned sadness. I've learned happiness. I've learned my weaknesses. I've learned my strengths. I've learned how thankful I am for my family. I've learned that no matter what they are my rock. I've learned how thankful I am for my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I've learned what it feels like to feel completely alone. But I've learned even in my weakest and hardest moments that He is there. I've learned I am not perfect and I never will be. And I've learned that that's okay. I didn't think it would be as hard as it has been. There have been days where I want nothing more than a huge hug from all 18 members of my family. Being 2,200 miles away from them has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I've learned my siblings are my best friends. I've learned my parents are my biggest fans. I learned how to live and drive in the snow..scariest stuff for a FL girl.
Everyday presents a new struggle. Some days I just wanna run back to Florida. Other days I never want to leave Utah. I know that right now this is where I'm supposed to be. There is more for me to learn. More growth to be made. I can't wait for the day when I have my degree in my hand and my bags are packed headed back East. But these are days I will never forget. I am being molded into the person I am meant to become. Every decision I make influences some piece of my life, good or bad. I never thought I would live in Provo, Utah. But I'm happy I do. Here's to one more year in Utah.
