“The thought of college excites me. It has been something I have worked towards since the first day of freshman year, so I am completely ready to take the next step in my life. I have been mentally preparing myself to move away in a few months, which is not only motivating, but it is also very humbling. I am no longer taking my time at NDA for granted because I know it will end very quickly through all the excitement of spring. It’s not always easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but now everything seems to be falling into place.”
