Gig 'em one last time!

Where has the time gone!?! It seems like just yesterday I closed the door to your dorm and walked away in tears as I left a part of my heart in Aggieland. I was so beyond proud of you, but I also worried about you being on your own for the first time. Going home and passing by your empty room was definitely weird. Needless to say, you have amazed me with your strength, perseverance, and willingness to work through adversity. College opened your eyes to a whole new world. It definitely wasn't easy, especially during the covid pandemic. You had to learn a whole new way of school, as most of your classes went online. The growth I have seen in you over the past year warms my heart. Finally, I feel like you are enjoying the college life. A bit of normalcy has returned, your classes are much more enjoyable, and you have a job that more than fits your personality. 

As you begin this last semester of your college career, I still have so many hopes and dreams for you. Take time to soak it all in. Go to the games, stroll through the bars and restaurants on Northgate, make new friends, step out of your comfort zone, and dunk your Aggie ring! Whoop! I will continue to be here for you as you walk through this journey. Thank you for including me along this ride. I cherish the phone calls, facetimes, texts, and invitations up to see you. 

You can do anything that you put your mind to in life. You have already conquered some really big mountains and have come out a stronger person because of it. Don't ever let fear keep you from trying. My purpose today is to remind you that I am proud of you, you are more than enough, and you make my heart smile!

Have an awesome semester, and thank you for doing the small things in life that you know are so important to me! You know I love my first day of school pictures and have never failed to send them to me. I love you big!!!
