I've been 25 for a week already. It was also a week ago today that President Barack Obama won his reelection bid to the White House. It's crazy how much we anticipate important dates. The date comes, goes and time continues to fly.
But to me, this milestone is important and deserving of reflection. I remember being a 15 year old high school freshman fast forward 10 years, I'm a 25 year old working professional. 10 years ago is when I met some people who I can still call friends to this day, friends who are successful in their own right.
My 24th year of life will be defined by my trip to South Africa and Botswana. An amazing experience that I never saw coming, yet I'm so grateful. At 23, I made it a goal to earn a masters degree by the age of 25 (see previous blog post), but through a crazy grind, dedication and God's grace, the mission was accomplished.
What does year #25 have in store?
Continued preparation for the future, no doubt. I'd like to have a PhD behind my name soon, but I believe it is important to do it when I'm ready. After being in school since the age of 3, I think I could take a year or two off. Traveling is definitely in my future as well. My mission to travel the 50 states is halfway complete. I'd like to continue to grow, to challenge myself, stretch and expand.
For the next 357 days, I'll proudly rock and represent 25 the best way I know how!
