It's crazy thinking that I'm done.
Four years ago I was a stranger to a new world of college. Now, I'm a stranger to the new world of post-grad life. Looking back, I wish I tried harder in school, I wish I had pursued my education with more heart, and that would probably be my one true regret.
God has blessed me so much through this college experience, so many people I count my closest friends, experiences in work and internships and serving the community of San Diego, and just ministering to people here. I've never had a better time than this.
To any underclassmen reading this, I challenge you to pursue your education at UCSD with seriousness. College passes by so quickly, and it would be a shame for you to go through these four years and in the end regret it. Live it up and have fun, but be responsible with the things that God has given you.
Pursue a Christ-like mentality. Drinking, partying, messing around might be fun and all, but self-control and chasing after God is much more fulfilling. Be an encouragement to your brothers and sisters around you, and don't bring them down.
Lord, I just thank you for an amazing four years. You've blessed me with more than I deserve, and more than I ever expected. These relationships that I've built up over these past years, continue to grow them, and continue to remind me that there's more to this life than the things of this world. God, I pray that these relationships would be glorifying to you. Thank you Father for always providing for me, and taking me through the many trials and temptations. It is only because of you that I am able to know my identity. I've hit so many lows and so many highs in college, and without You, I would not be the person that I am now.
