What A Difference A Year Makes

Well, folks, today is my birthday :) Another year older and none the wiser!  With my birthday so close to New Year's, I find that I am often still reflecting on how much has changed in the past year.  In my last 365 days, I have:

• completed my student teaching semester
• acted as student speaker at Baccalaureate
• graduated from college
• visited more than half of the US states on my third cross-country road trip
• become a licensed teacher
• moved to a foreign country
• begun making a living with the arts
• received a job promotion
• traveled to four countries

That's a remarkable amount of change to undergo in just one year.  It's been a challenging and incredibly exciting year of my life, and I can't wait to see what the next one will hold.
