By the time I received my diploma in June 2000, I was flat out exhausted. I was half asleep during my graduation and that ceremony was a bit of a blur.

It's funny how I started with something I love, not knowing where it would lead, but it eventually led me to something greater that unlocked my true passions and potential. I may not have a theorem named after me or ended up being the next great artist, but any of those wouldn't have made me happy if each day, I feel like there's a hole in my life and constantly wondering about roads not taken.

I'm glad to have taken the path that I took because it led me to something more, something good, and something I still enjoy until this day. The experiences I had and skills I acquired along the way formed my craft. The possibilities are always endless.

I don't have any regrets. Every day is a new adventure.
