Even though there were times where I felt like time was just so agonizing & I wanted to leave UT ASAP, these past two years have just FLOWN by. It's nuts. But I am very proud of myself for sticking to it-- and for being the first in my family to receive a college degree!
I have to say my biggest motivation to stick with it has been.... Jason. No surprise, right? From the beginning of our relationship, he's always told me that I could get a college degree. He gave me confidence that I could do it. But it took me a few years to realize it (at the time-- I was making good money doing something else that didn't require a college degree-- and no, it wasn't stripping. lol. It was dental assisting). Finally, one day I was sitting there, suctioning up spit from a very rude patient's mouth (I really disliked this person) and I thought to myself "What the hell am I doing here??? I can do so much more with my life..." And so I did. I dropped my stable and very good career in the dental field to pursue something I REALLY WANTED. I had to let go of comfort and take a chance. I'm so glad I did. And I'm so glad I had someone pushing me.
Now it's time for me to gallivant about the world-- something I REALLY WANTED for a loooonngg time-- and the time has finally come. Yeeeeeeee!
