You find true strength and happiness when you forgive, forget, and let your faith become greater than your fear.

I reached my weight goal this week!! Thanks fitbit. It's hard to push yourself to go to the gym several times a week, but I did it. And I feel good :)

I got my hair done today!!!! Got some layers and dyed the ends. I'm so happy I finally got to dye my hair :DDDDD (at Suwon)

You never know where life may take you... Across the world and to new sights and sounds. I'm so thankful to be here. (at Heundea Beach, Busan)

Today is the day I fly out for South Korea. These last 6 months have been some of the hardest that I have experienced. Life can change on a dime when you least expect it to. And sometimes we lose people or things that are very important to us and our hearts. I have a long ways to go to get to where I want to be in life, but I am proud of how far I have come. I am proud of each and every accomplishments I have made this year, I've earned 7 scholarships, got all A's, and even made the dean's list. As well as performed my very first sophomore recital and wrote my first wind quartet. I worked for the last 7 weeks at a full time job, took music lessons, attended physical therapy, and still made time to see my friends. I've been looking forward to this trip for the past year, and know that all my hard work will be worth it. So today I will embark on my journey to a whole new world. I would like to say thank you to my friends and family who have supported me in my struggles. And pray there be no hard feelings. Please wish me luck in this new place. I am more than excited to open my eyes and see and experience the world.
