A Letter to Summer:                                                                                 Summer-                                                                                                          This year you have really challenged me. I am back home from college with my family and I continuously feel guilty for a lot of things. I feel guilty that I would rather be at college than with my family during these times. I feel guilty that I am not doing much to help out during this time. And most importantly I feel guilty that I am questioning my life and what I want to do with it. My life has been filled with ups and downs but with everything my family sacrificed to allow me to go to college, I feel guilty for questioning my life purpose and if what I am studying in college is the right choice. 

I think I resent you for bringing all my insecurities about my future into the light but I think I need to thank you for giving me time to reflect and think about my choices because I am finally realizing that the choices I make today will determine my future. I also have been using the time to find new hobbies and not always rely on others like my friends. I am learning that as a young adult, no matter how cliche this sounds, being able to find yourself is extremely important. Thank you for this time to grow and I will never forget you. I will miss you when you are gone but I also can not wait until fall comes.
