Don’t Let The World Pass You By

 

St. Augustine once said, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” This quote means a lot to me as I go through my years in college. From a young age, I’ve had the desire to see the world’s every corner. Both the highs and lows.

As a 20-something learning about myself and who I want to be in life, travel is a priceless experience that allows me to see the world with new eyes. I have been lucky to have had the opportunity to visit some amazing places around the world, but I’m not done yet – I want to keep reading.

Life is like a book and each chapter means a chance to change, grow, or experience life the way you want to. I am not content with the ordinary, which means my chapters have and hopefully will be filled with the extraordinary.

The Journey of Friendship

As a college student away from home and the friends I grew up with, I have learned a lot about what it takes to maintain a true relationship with someone. And it isn’t easy.

Growing up in the same town, with the same friends, I never thought anything would change. From a young age my best friends and I planned our weddings (a.k.a fought over who would get the purple themed wedding), giggled as we texted boys and pigged out on the baked goods we made.

These friendships were key to shaping the person I am today. However, as we went on our separate ways to being a new chapter of our life we learned that our shared experiences growing up weren’t enough to maintain the friendship.

I Am a Member of the Team.

Mia Hamm is famed as one of the greatest female athletes of all time. As a former Women’s National Team player and captain, she set records for the sport of soccer that had never been seen before.

Born Mariel Margaret Hamm (Mia), she was the fourth of six children, getting to that point wasn’t easy. Hamm faced struggles from an early age. She was born with a club foot, a condition in which the foot turns inward, which required corrective braces as a toddler. This could have been the end to any future career in sports but with the help of doctors, parents and her own will, she was able to overcome her first struggle.

The noise she heard growing up never got to her.

She grew up in an Air Force family and moved around many times throughout her childhood. This did not stop her from developing a …
