The answer: This semester has been rough for me. I have learned so many life lessons by the mistakes I made this year alone. After wrapping up my two years as a Resident Assistant, I have kind of transitioned from helping and getting involved to advising others to get involved. I have also found a lot of solitude in writing to express myself.
Speaking to the readers of my blog, another question might strike you to ask, "Isn't the transition that you have mentioned actually no transition at all?"
A little background about me might make you understand where I'm from and where I would like my journey to go...
One of my biggest role models who have inspired me to go far in my life are my Parents. My Mom is the one who taught me to be a Self-Advocate...to ask question and stand up to what you believe is right. She is a very private person, but her compassion and her amazing street smarts has really shined a light of who I am today. My Dad is the one who taught me to have fun...to always put smiles on people faces.
It has been said that the community and people you and I grew up around are what also makes us unique.
I can tell you a few more inspirational people in my life in the order that I first met them:
1. Mrs. Clapham
2. Ms. Huskey
3. Ms. Esposito
4. Jenny
5. Tara
6. Anjli

I believe that all people you meet give you some sort of feedback and inspiration. I always take their remarks and challenge myself to prove them wrong/learn more/to do better.
However, recently, there was one thing that I need to always remember...
"There is No Win in comparison!"
Without the people who have inspired me, I don't know who I would be now. They are the foundations of my motivation to not give up. When times are tough, they have reasoned my thinking which makes me stop and and reevaluate my Short and Long Term Goals.
To these inspirational people, I thank you!
