Growing Pains...

Today was my last day as a second year law student. WOW! It's hard to imagine that this fall will mark the twentieth year (and final year!!!) since I started school. I was four back then, and now I'm twenty-four. My mother has always stressed the importance of an education to my brother and me, while rubbing in the fact that she sacrificed medical school to have us. As a child I would always tell her that I would more than make up for her sacrifice never really thinking that this many years later I truly would. It's hard to imagine that in one short year, there will be no more room for error, no more time to play, just SINK or SWIM. My whole life I have definitely been a swimmer, and I owe that to those around me. I can truly say that I have been blessed. Every life experience that I have faced has only made me stronger and more confident that the sky truly is the limit. My family, friends, and just those random people that have come into my life at some point or another all mattered. Its kind of like a rock in the desert, it seems so strong and solid yet over the years the tiniest flakes of sand wear this rock down and smooth it out. That is how I feel about those who have come into my life, they have helped to round off my rough edges. Its hard to just sit back and think about all of the trials and tribulations that have come, yet I've perservered... I know God has a plan for me, and I don't plan to stop running this race known as my life until I complete this plan. Like my boy "Haitian V" says "I'm going to take it to the top top"

I'd be remissed not to shout out those persons who have helped me through these past two years in particular... I love all of you guys for real... We've all been through some ups and downs and we get on each others nerves sometimes, but I wouldn't trade you people in for the world!






I didn't forget about you Tyrell...


and all my other law school people as well, you know who you are...
