Anyways, that's my little thought process of the night. Looking back, I am beyond amazed by myself, but looking forward, I still see more possibilities.

Thanks to a change of environment and an amazing teacher who actually cared, my worldview did eventually change. But my ADHD went undiagnosed until I was a year into Augustana. Continuing to make things feel much harder than they truly needed to be.

I took a bit longer than normal, but it's still a huge deal to me. Looking back to 15 year old me, the very idea that I would graduate high school would have been a surprise honestly with how difficult I found life and school.
