Zero to Hero


Hi Everyone,

This month actually marks 1 YEAR since my mysterious and bewildering honorable mission release last March, about 10 months prior to my full 18-month term.

I have to admit, this year has been quite interesting-- the challenges I have been presented with in consequence at home and abroad surpass anything I have ever encountered before. However, the sequential resolution of each challenge has likewise brought just as much joy, which I am now experiencing. I'd like to take a moment to highlight all of the aspects of my life that have changed in one year, taking me from ZERO to HERO :)

THEN / NOW

lived with parents / have my own place

unemployed / work 2 jobs

no clear career path / going to school pre-OT Masters

no romantic prospect / in love with man of my dreams

not sure of myself / completely self reliant

sense of failure (incomplete mission) / irrefutably sane and successful (even Dad said he is proud of me!)
