My heart is full of happiness and gratitude as I think about what my life is blessed with today. I get to wake up every day and go to a school I love to work in, with students and colleagues that make me better. I also get to connect with friends from around the United States that help me grow, learn and dream every day. When you’re surrounded by greatness, you can’t help but to feel blessed.
When I reflect upon my year, it’s hard not to recall a short period of time where my life felt different. A little darker. Lots of questioning. Hurtful words. But as I processed through these; reflected, forgave, and learned, I realized that I am grateful for them as well. It evoked something.
I started dreaming.
I made an action plan.
I had a vision.
I found people like me!
I found people who wanted to support people like me!
Being able to bring like minded people together is a dream come true. I am humbled and now tears of joy fall from my eyes. I realized that with hard work and perseverance dreams do come true!
So today, my heart is full, happy, and excited about the future. I am so grateful for those in my circle who support and encourage me. I am thankful for those who were once part of my journey too. Many people have provided building blocks to who I am and who I'm becoming.
I am filled with hope and inspiration.
My vision is clear.
For that I am grateful.
