You will cry.
You will stress.
You will procrastinate.
You will doubt yourself.
You will question your academic ability.
You will wonder why you decided to pursue this program.
You will miss important parties, gatherings, and family celebrations.
You will use this program as an excuse to get out of parties, gatherings, and family celebrations.
You will use this program to change your being and become the person you longed to be.
You will slowly discover your darkest shadows and become one with them.
You will marvel at the process happening before your very own eyes.
You will be in awe at what you have learned about yourself.
You will amaze others with your learnings.
You will experience “aha” moments.
You will slowly transform.
You will dance.
You will learn.
You will lead.
You will cry.
You will need to experience it for yourself and when you do, make sure to share it with someone else. I am here because of one person who saw the determination in my eyes and my desire to continue to learn. She not only opened a door for me, but she extended her hand and with a firm grip guided me along. It is now my turn. I extend my hand to you. The choice is yours. Take it and I promise to pull you through, but only if you promise to hold on strong. I can’t promise it will be easy, but to see the layers peel away slowly and see your potential, self-worth, and determination is all worth it.
Best of luck and I invite you to contact me if you feel you are stuck, jammed, wedged, stressed, overwhelmed or you want to share your “aha” moments. Just wait for them. They are exceptional!!
PEACE, LOVE, and GOD BLESS,
Maria Ayon, First Year Transformer (because it’s not about surviving, but transforming)
