Close One Door, Open Another

Tonight I finished packing all my necessary belongings for my dorm room. I had my last class at martial arts. I had my last home cooked meal. These parts of me have now been put away, and a whole new life is about to begin.

There are few times in life when we get to start fresh. Tomorrow is one of those rare opportunities. The only things I will carry with me to UW are myself, my friends, and my few belongings. I will no longer be identified by a certain list of activities, grades, or personalities. I have the freedom to determine who I want to be and live the way I seek.

This is my chance. It's not California. It's not New York City. This is Seattle, Washington. But no matter what place it is, this is my opportunity to really begin anew. No matter my preconceived notions I believe that tomorrow will be special; I am expecting the unexpected.
