character study 1

As I sat there reading my acceptance letter into Harvard, I couldn't help but think of the incredible trials that I went through in order to get to this moment. The long grueling workload in the past four years has all payed off in this moment. It then sunk in that I was about to leave everything that I have ever known. I realized that I would not only be leaving my family, but also the California coast, the only home i've ever known. As I pack my bags, I know that my entire life has led me to this moment, the start to my journey.
