Blank Check

Fun fact... this sweatshirt is 20 years old. When I went to college 02, I was lucky enough for my parents to pay(for the year I kinda went).

They told me to go to college and I went. I went ALONE and freaking scared to death. It was also the first time I ever drove outside of my tiny town(& yes, got my licence at 18 just a few minths before).

When I got there I knew I needed to buy books and I had a blank check....so I got the books I needed, then realized I HAD A BLANK CHECK. so I turned around and bought college swag

I kept this sweatshirt to remind me, that I CAN do hard and scary things BY MYSELF. While college life didn't last long, during that period of my life I started to take on new challenges and realize that if it was meant to be, it was up to me....& it's also OK to ask for help... just like that lady that showed me how to write that first check at college.

I'm so grateful for the way I was raised. I'm so grateful for my childhood, my parents and my siblings and lifelong friends. I am who I am because I was given opportunities to grow and figure it out on my own way, which makes me have a pretty positive outlook on life.

In what way are you grateful for your childhood?
