Hello my loves!
Are you glad that it’s finally summer? I know that I am! For students, summer seems to open a door of endless possibilities, especially for trip taking and relaxing. This summer, I don’t have the luxury of taking trips or relaxing as much as I want because I’m working an internship. However, I still view my summer as holding endless possibilities, a time to chase my dreams. And I hope that regardless of what responsibilities you have this summer, that you also view the opportunities that are available to you!

Not only am I an intern this summer, but I am also enrolled in summer classes! And I bet you’re like why would you do that? But, I will be graduating in May 2019 so these classes are just keeping me on track for my personal graduation goal. Weekends are my free time, my time to catch up on school work, but my most importantly my time to plan and make strides toward my goals! I am enjoying my summer with all this work and choosing to add even more work, personal work. I am committed to blogging and participating in other writing endeavors. And in order to fulfill my commitments, I have to be dedicated. I am very serious about writing and being consistent is my way of displaying my love and commitment.

I have so many goals that I want to achieve and I am using this summer as the stepping stone toward the endless possibilities I can achieve. I am so thankful that all my classes are online & that I have an amazing internship. Therefore, I am able to maximize my time without having to step foot in an actual classroom. I may get a little tired from time to time, especially when I travel to my hometown every now and then to visit family. But, I understand that my goals and dreams aren’t going to chase themselves. What I want isn’t just going to fall into my lap, I mean it would be pretty cool and easy if they did. Nonetheless, a little hard work never hurt anybody.

I am writing this blog to challenge you this summer. If your summer is filled with vacations and free time, or even if it’s not, actively set some goals and begin developing the blueprint for how you want to achieve these goals. What can you do this summer to benefit you in the future? How can you continually progress towards your dreams? Even if you feel like you have too much on your plate, like there’s never enough time, I promise that you can do it! If you can only dedicate an hour or two a day to laying your foundation, then I promise that is okay. Anything is better than nothing. And you don’t want to reflect on your summer and think about all the ways you could have been progressing.

Go to work, complete your summer school work, volunteer, continue your summer camp, but make sure to make time for you and want you want for your future. Time flies by and every moment counts, even if your acts seem small in the grand scheme of things. Your efforts matters! And if you need a little encouragement, just think about how worthwhile it will be all be once you achieved all the goals you set to achieve.

Enjoy your time off from school or whatever you plan to do this summer, but I challenge you to make time to work toward your future. Do this in whatever way you see fit, whether it be setting goals, planning, or even setting plans in motion. Let this summer be one to remember, let this be the summer you became dedicated to following your heart & your dreams! Start today and make a conscious effort every day to be purposeful in your pursuit of what your heart desires. I have complete faith that you all will achieve your goals, so why not start today?
