A Milestone Reached: The Journey Continues

Today, I am proud to share that I have officially completed the first step in my journey toward becoming a psychologist. In December, I graduated with my Associate of Arts in History, and reaching this milestone means more to me than I can fully put into words. It represents perseverance, growth, and choosing to keep going even when the process was not always easy.

As I move forward, I am continuing with the next step that I previously shared and beginning my journey as a Bearkat at Sam Houston State University. I will be majoring in Psychology with a minor in History starting January 2026. I am truly grateful to have reached this point and excited about what lies ahead.

I want to continue being transparent about the realities of entrepreneurship and personal growth. Not to make excuses, but to show that what matters most is not giving up. I know I have struggled with consistency on the blog, but while I may not have always shown up here the way I wanted to, I was still being productive in other areas of my life. I believe it is important to acknowledge where I fall short, take accountability, and keep trying until I get it right.

I am sharing this journey as a testimony in hopes that it encourages someone else to keep going. The cost of living with regrets or wondering what could have been is far greater than the cost of betting on yourself. No matter how many times you fall, get back up, keep striving, and continue moving forward with purpose.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me along the way. I will continue to encourage others to chase their dreams and trust the process, even when it feels uncomfortable.

As we close out this year, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year 2026. My goal for 2026 is to be more consistent, stay present, and continue moving with intention and purpose. The journey continues.

As you step into 2026, I encourage you to set a goal for yourself, no matter how big or small it may be. Keep working toward it, stay committed, and remind yourself that progress matters. Showing up for yourself is always worth it.
