Monday was my birthday —  the big 18! Just like every other year, I feel the same as I did on Sunday; there was no magical transformation on the day of my 18th birthday.

Let me just say this though, year 17 was my favorite so far. Not only did I create unforgettable friendships and relations during this time, but I also learned a lot about myself. I guess you could say that it has been a year of discovery and growth. Not only did I recognized personal traits, but I have learned how to use those traits to better myself (and my relationship with Christ).

Needless to say, I’m pretty stoked to see what God does in year 18. (:
