Transitions

As a New Year rolls around I reflect on 2010, and look forward to 2011 experiences:
The most special thing that comes to mind about 2010 was falling in love with the PA profession and determining the Lord's call for my life. Other highlights included spending an entire summer with my grandparents, completing a triathlon, seeing the opening of the James B. Edwards dental school, experiencing the fulfillment of having 2 more semesters of college completed, spending many fun weeks with the family, and the deepening of relationships with those that mean the most to me.
In 2011, I look forward to getting my Clemson ring, taking the GRE, applying to PA school, determining where I will be for the 2 years following college, being a part of a medical mission trip, obtaining a PAYING summer job, and having numerous clinical experiences.
2011 scares me in many ways. I am growing up, moving on, and still desperately fearing failure with every step I take. There are so many decisions that must be made and I know that with each step the only way I will make it through is to fully rely on God. I am being reminded of that daily.
It is with very bittersweet emotions that I say "Here's to 2011!"
