The semester is OVER!!! I am more relieved than anything. This semester has brought quite a lot of highs and a lot of lows. I know that this is just the beginning but I have a small glimpse of what I am capable of. Now more than ever I know I can go the distance. At the beginning of the semester I was confident I could do it but my confidence lacked experience. I didn’t know I would have to meet failure head on and deal with it. I am proud of myself for sticking with it and completing the semester despite my frustrations. I am beginning to see the true nature of my character. Things I have never quite understood about myself I am beginning to see a little bit more clearly. Right now I am evaluating my successes and my failures and coming up with ways to improve. I mean overall the semester was a success. I have areas I need help with but I am sure I will be able to diagnose the problems and come up with solutions that will enable me to do even better next semester. I am excited about life, I am excited about school. I am going to be studying throughout the break so I will be ahead of my peers. I don’t like having to play catch-up and for me to stay sharp I need to keep working. What can I say; I have an unrelenting, unceasing dedication to becoming a Doctor. I feel so alive, I feel so empowered right now.
When I was finishing my English final my teacher spoke to me as I left, she told me how much she enjoyed having me in her class and that she was amazed at my ability to be so versed in literature and in the sciences. I told her that was my goal, to work hard and be strong in every area of my life. She said “Kind of like a Renaissance Man” and I said “Pretty much.” After all isn’t that the purpose of life, to fulfill our optimal potential. For some it may be less than others but no less important. Not everyone is supposed to be everything. There is a balance of people in this world and the diversity that makes us up is amazing. I mean, I am not talented in the art department. I think if I took art I would fail Art 101: Stick Figures. I have some friends I know that are very talented in that area and I am very grateful for that. The world would be a lot less beautiful without people to have the talent and imagination to create such beauty. I must say though that I think the ultimate artist is our Heavenly Father. After all, this world is amazingly beautiful. He created us and I would have to say that is pretty amazing as well. I think the key to fulfilling our potential is find what we have a passion for and give everything to improve on that. It will hurt; it will be painful but if it didn’t it wouldn’t mean anything. Nothing of any worth ever comes easy. The meaning of life, and life’s lessons and the quality thereof is directly proportional to the difficulty endured.
