This entire year I thought I had everything planned out to the very last detail, I was going to graduate in May, move
to LA in June, start a career with in public relations with a desired firm I had been looking in to. However this past March
I suffered the loss of my grandfather and I felt like everything I had been planning for had changed. Within the blink of
an eye my priorities had drastically changed. This seems like a bizarre life experience, but it taught me one very important
lesson you can't plan for everything, and you can't take what you have for granted. I realized my life this past year had
been so career driven that I was missing very valuable time with loved ones. This experience has also made me realize that
just because I am graduating doesn't mean I have to pick up and leave. I think everyone has this preconceived notion that
you have to leave to the next farthest city to begin a sucessful life, but I have realized this is the place that has all
my friends and family, so why did I want to get so far away? As unfortunate as this experience has been it has taught me a
greaer life lesson then I could have ever imagined.
