drive. passion. swag.

honestly, being a graduating senior is hard. there are so many things going on and as extreme as it sounds, sometimes i feel like the decisions i make everyday are going to have an affect on the rest of my life.

but in these fast-paced and overwhelming times, i always have this thought in the back of my mind: drive. passion. swag.

[drive]: i am so thankful for the life of opportunity that my parents have worked so hard to provide me with and i just want to make them proud. i am driven to be proactive about being successful. i just have to remind myself that the work i put in now is all for a purpose. 

[passion]: my hope for the world is that everyone discovers what they are passionate about. i really do believe that the key to happiness is understanding your own true passion. actually, one of the reasons i want to go into student affairs is because i believe that college is the time that you discover your passions and i want to play a role in helping others find that.

[swag]: haha... ok this one sounds kind of silly. but for me, "swag" is about how you carry yourself. and i think it is important to discover a real sense of who you are and who you strive to be independent of what anyone else expects or wants you to be. and having "swag" is about carrying yourself in a way true to that.
