Day 124: The Final Stretch

Monday. Only a couple more days until my training starts for the internship. All day, I have been organizing paperwork, printing off things I need, and sorting everything into binders. Fun adulting. It is exciting, but also overwhelming. I want to enjoy this time, and I am trying to, but I know it will be hard and stressful to some degree. It is meant to be.

I want to be ready for it, and I feel like I will be. Still, the thought of not being able to do it or succeed crosses my mind more than I want it to. What if I cannot focus? What if I cannot keep up? I have had a few rough semesters in the past that ended up being turned around because of my perseverance. I know I cannot give up now.

This is the end. The final semester…

Quiet Part Day 124: I am becoming someone I once hoped I could be, and now I have to let myself believe I can actually stand there. This next part may ask more of me, but I am starting to understand that fear has never been the full measure of what I can do. I am ready to find out.
