What like it’s hard? Yes. It absolutely was.
I feel like I’ve spent much of my academic life in auto-pilot such that it’s always a struggle to acknowledge how much work it took to reach the finish and more importantly how proud of myself I should be in the moment, and not in retrospect years down the line.
Elementary school aged probably wouldn’t be able to fathom that everything she wanted came to be just as she hoped it would.
And middle school me old me would think I’m the coolest, but probably be too shy to tell me that herself.
And college me would admire the work ethic that allowed me to build a platform as a creator while pursuing another degree.
But most importantly I’m proud of me now. With much good reason to be.
