First, they said I shouldn’t do it. Then, they said I couldn’t do it. I said there’s no way I wouldn’t do it. Here’s to four years of saying yes when the world said no.
Today, I get to say the words I’ve been waiting to say for as long as I can remember. I’m going to graduate from university.
Flashback to 2012 when I was in first year. I had been told by my university’s administration to take time off of school. To focus on wellness instead of working towards my dream of obtaining a degree. I was vulnerable and didn’t know what else to do, so I dropped a class. In hindsight, it was the best decision I made, because managing my new conversion disorder diagnosis and a full course load was a disaster waiting to happen.
