Wow,  past the one year mark from my accident, It is so hard to believe how fast it has come. I thought June 17th would never get here last year. But on this day this year   I wasreminded once again how short life is. One of my good friends/ teammates from volleyball was in a jet ski accident and did not make it though.  It has been extremely difficult for me to deal with this tragic event.  I have never lost someone this close before, but I do know I cannot wait to see her in heaven one day. She was the most amazing girl I've ever known and will always be in my heart. She was always so wise and full of advice for me, despite the circumstances I faced. I am a stronger person just for having her in my life for the few years I did.
 I also found out this past week that my final will be August 4th! I am so excited. It will be here before I know it. I bought a new car already, now just need the doctor to clear me safe to drive.  I am currently looking for a job too! I applied for one at Reinhardt college. They had an opening for a Resident Coordinator. How awesome it would be to be able to go back and help future students live the best life possible on campus. If this job does not work out I will continue searching around. I know God will bless me with something else. He hasn't failed me yet and  I know he will not!  I will say this past year he has taught me so much on patience and compassion. I'm not great at either one by any means, but feel as tough I have grown as a person. it took me a while to adjust in  brain injury,  one being impatient more than I was used to, and one more overemotional, whether that meaning angry, or sadness. I have had to accept the body and person I am today and embrace it and love it. It is not always easy, but with God all thing are possible. I want to be sure to thank everyone for the support this past year,  have needed it with out a doubt and am sure to need it in the future, which is why I will try my best to continue with the updates. God Bless you all
