Then and Now

Since May graduation is next week and a lot of my friends and classmates are graduating, I thought it would be fun to take a look at how much I've changed during my time at school. I'm not going to go through every year (that would take way too long and be really boring), but I thought it would be fun to look at freshman and senior year of high school, and freshman and senior year of college.

I feel like I've grown so much, in high school and college. The time goes by so quickly, sometimes you forget to stop and savor what you have. I am so blessed to have known so many wonderful people who have all helped shape the path that I have taken. In a few weeks I will be venturing into the ultimate unknown: The rest of my life.
Congratulations to the seniors graduating next week, especially the members of BFAX. It's been a crazy few years and I am excited to see where our roads take us!
