Where do I begin?

Life in America is amazing. Regardless of my constantly tight financial resources, extremist Muslims who hate America’s values, and the political crazies who constantly berate my intelligence because I disagree with them, I thank God every day for the blessing of living in the land of the free and home of the brave. I am thankful that there are still brave people in America. I am thankful that although the country is not perfect, it is still the beacon of hope for those with purpose to collide with destiny.

I am thankful for all the lessons that I have learned because life was not handed to me on a platinum platter.

I am thankful for my family. Although I’m away from all of them and practically not reachable from 8 AM to 11 PM, I think about them constantly — especially my siblings.

I am thankful for all of the friends that have been as close as family. Whether in Lynchburg or San Diego or Boston, so many people have made my nomadic life a continually amazing experience.

I am thankful for Emerson College. This is the most liberating, creative, and professional environment that I have ever encountered. The friendships and opportunities here are worth far more than the tuition. (But don’t get me wrong, the tuition is high enough!)

I am thankful for the one who can always make me smile.

Thank God for having so much to be thankful for.
