The past year for me has been crazy. It's been filled with a lot of ups, and an equal amount of downs. At times I felt as though things were out of my control, but I've finally realized that we all control our own destiny. I suppose I was in that stage, somewhere between child and adulthood and only thought about myself. I lost a lot of great things that really meant a lot to me.

Somewhere in this chaos I got the opportunity to go to Australia. After finally waking up and realizing what I wanted, I decided that leaving the States for a while was what I needed to do. Life in Australia taught me a lot. In a weird way, it was a great place to start over. Through this process, I feel that I've changed and finally starting making sense of it all. Who I am, whats important to me, and where I'm going. Now in my life, I'm finally taking control and growing up. I'm learning to balance my life and keep myself in check like in the good old day. I know I have a long way to go, but at least I'm on my way.

Despite everything, I am still a great person, haha. I do like to have my share of fun. I'm loyal, honest, genuine, down to earth, caring. I'm in a great relationship now, which is teaching me so much more about love, life, and myself.

This is my last year of my undergrad in college. Very busy year for me, like I say every year. Between work, school, relationships, and my internship at Yale I'll be workin it more than ever. Shout outs to all my homeboys for keepin it real, haha.

I have someone special in my life right now, so friends now is great for me. Interesting, fun, smart, intelligent, nice, and humerous people will always grab my attention.
