Who am I?
August of 2011. Just a couple of months prior to this point I graduated high school and was getting ready to start my first semester at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown, North Carolina. Just a year prior back in the summer of 2010 my mother died in a car wreck and the world had become a different place for me.

I always knew what kind of person I was, but I was never sure about who I was meant to be and the journey to making that discovery started here.
