A New Journey

      So, in a couple weeks I will be graduating college.  I will have my teacher's license soon.  And hopefully this fall will be teaching somewhere.  It is all a bit overwhelming to be honest.  It seems like yesterday I was in high school barely passing.  I even had a teacher tell me that I would be wasting time and money by going to college, that I would never succeed.  Jokes on her now I guess.
    I remember graduating high school and being terrified of college.  To be completely honest, I was about 95% sure that I would not make it through, that I would be back in Hamilton in a year or two.  But by the grace of God I was able to make it through.  I was surrounded by great friends and used those words from my former teacher to motivate me.  Although it did take me an extra year to graduate but a degree is a degree regardless if it took 4 years or 5. 
   Some where in the past 5 years I have developed a fondness for Toledo.  Anyone who has ever lived here knows that that is not very easy to develop.  But I love it here.  I have been going to my church for 5 years, have a great family there.  I have some of the best friends I could ever imagine here as well. 
    It has been a journey.  I hope that I am a better man than when I started but who knows.  What I do know is that I am facing a similar to the one I faced 5 years ago.  I am graduating, and I have no clue what is next.  I am terrified I will fail as an adult, as a teacher.  I have no clue where I will be living, all depends on where I get a job.  What I do know is that its the beginning of a new journey.  I know the good Lord will help to guide me.  So here is to the next journey in my life!
