It’s ironic - ”Where does this leave me now?” – The subject for the term paper I’m writing for my religion class, is so appropriate for my current post.
With the end of the path along my journey that brought me to Winthrop in the pursuit of furthering my formal education in sight, I find my self often caught up in contemplation of this same theme. Where does this leave me now? When will I see clearly the intersection of the new avenue that will lead me to the next phase of my journey? What will I discover amidst this new adventure?
Faith: Gainful employment with an adequate source of revenue to reward my efforts in learning and a chance to utilize my new found skills and knowledge is my prayer. But in spite of my faith, I can’t help but wonder – what opportunities will I have?, where will they lead me?, who will I meet along the way?, how will I inspire others?, when will I know what follows Winthrop?
Gratitude: For the folks with whom I have crossed paths along this leg of my journey, especially those who have been a source of encouragement and strength – for you I am eternally indebted. For the experience, the professors that challenged me and allowed me latitude to find my way. For my future, the opportunity to grow and the freedom to seek new horizons.
Excitement: As I anxiously navigate toward my next destination and anticipate the Bon Voyage celebration as I prepare to set sail toward my next horizon.
