I have not always been a fan of the holidays. There is often a hysterical notion that envelops people around this time of the year and to counteract it I have often played the grinch. However, this year I am going to change that. Instead of being grumpy for the season I am going to do my best to show some holiday cheer. This is a time to see family and eat good food. It's a time for celebration and reflection. With that in mind there is no real reason for me to play the antagonist.
Reflecting on this last year I believe there are many moments I can be proud of. For one, going to college is an extremely proud moment in my life. Neither of my parents ever attended and my older sister dropped out after her junior year. Looking to the future, this is also something that will be a milestone in my life. I can also be thankful for all the support I've had in my life this last year. From getting discharged from the military, a bad ending with my ex-fiancée, and trying to figure out what to do from there I have had friends and family helping guide me. Yes, I have much to be grateful for.
With all of this, I am happy to end this semester on a high note and look forward to embarking on the journey of next semesters classes. I have been a little nervous concerning school this semester but I've decided that I will do well. All it takes is a choice to change the current situation of things. I truly believe I've made that choice.
