Endings are new beginnings

If you follow my blog, you will probably notice that all my old posts were deleted. Thanks to spammers or hackers, I am starting with a clean chalkboard.
 It's not a big deal. My blog needed an extreme makeover.
 So today I woke up out of a nightmare and with a revelation. My revelation stems from a quote I read by Oprah yesterday: "The only courage you ever need is the courage to live your heart's desire."
 My nightmare had very little to do with my fear that I am about to share with you; it has more to do with the message that I gathered from this quote.
 Last year I faced two life-changing experiences. I missed some classes with proof of proper documents. That wasn't enough for a certain professor. I just so happened to be challenged by this individual, someone whom I looked up to. I wasn't asking for a hug or special treatment. I asked to be treated fairly.
 I don't want to go into much detail, but the professor gave me a hard time. Almost five months later and I am encountering the professor again. I find myself dreading class with he/she.
 So as I woke up from my nightmare I began to think, the desire to finish college and become a successful educator is a desire God has embedded in my heart. All I need is to focus on this desire and courage will stick to me like glue.
 So although I have feared this professor and his/her unethical behavior, if I just focus on my heart's desire, fear will vanish.
So although I thought the ending of this professor's class last semester was dreadful, I am being given a new beginning now, and when I graduate. I have a clean chalkboard, just like this blog. I will choose what will become of my slate as long as I focus on my heart's desire.

Happy Thursday everyone!
