They come at various times in life. They seem to come in multiples of 4s. 4 years ago, 4 hours before high school graduation - i decided not to follow the path I had set out on when I was 8 years old. I decided to play ball in college when I had dreamed all of middle school, and worked all of high school towards the purpose of starting my career in the Army at the highest point possible. I was already guaranteed 2 pay raises higher than the average signee for my 4 year commitment spent to the AFJROTC FL-952 corp at Springstead High school, and then I would be commissioned as an officer soon after receiving my BA that was paid for by the Army. I had it all planned out. And it all changed with the signature of a name on "the other" paper.
My letter of intent replaced my enlistment contract.
4 years later I stand here today, a college graduate. First in my family to have a BA after being first from my HS to receive a volleyball scholarship in its existence. I hope for many more "firsts" as I live to choose the path less chosen.
I received a message about markers not too long ago, and I took note to pay attention. I say it to myself all the time - I am so excited for my future, and if you are not about yours it is not too late.
Iyi aksamlar.

I am so glad that you signed your letter of intent to attend Brevard. Otherwise I would have never met you, and while it may sound corny as hell, my life would be so much poorer without you. As I have told you on many occasions, while you may be eight and a half year younger than me....you will always be one of my heroines!!! I am both jealous and yet still so happy for you to have this opportunity in front of you. Just remember we all love you Beast!!!
