Three years ago I moved here with great expectations ready to pursue my dreams. Moving to NYC from LA was one of the most challenging but rewarding things I have ever chosen to do.I commuted from my sisters house in New Jersey to New York every day searching for jobs. It was a rude awakening for me. A completely different culture, no parents, and little money. Only my tenacious ambition and faith that God would help me to do everything I needed to. It is definitely a challenge balancing work, school, and married life, but I love my life. The lessons I learn on a daily basis are enriching and are equipping me for my future in music. Songs are pouring from me more freely. I feel like a piece of flint being sharpened with a stone. The pieces cut away from me are my acts of love to the world.
I am happy to be here. I look around my classrooms and see diversity and the potential for greatness. People from all over the world, from different walks of life all united to learn and grow to become cutting edge professionals. It is inspiring to see people putting themselves out of their element. Life is different when you are in college. This is the beginning of the rest of my life. Now, everything I do counts. The accountability I have from everyone puts me in a position where I want to be my best at everything I put my hands to.
I think. NO, I know that we will do amazing things. Believe it. We are unique and wonderful people, created by God to be excellent. I pray that you and I will reach great heights and depths. Persevere through trials, strive to be good people, unafraid of those who oppose us to do the right thing.
