Student's Description:
I wanted to convey a powerful message in a succinct way about the importance and choice of growth. It starts off short and concise, hoping to leave readers with a sense of ambiguity and slowly mellowing into the main message.
2 years.
That's 730 days.
Nobody walks out of that the same person.
Unscathed, unchanged.
Everyone is subjected to this inevitability.
Physically, mentally, or hell, even spiritually.
Nobody goes through 2 years of life looking at the same person they woke up to two years ago.
I am no exception.
However, this transformation has been witnessed all throughout, whether at my highest or lowest—or the 50 states I go through every week I can't bother to conceal anymore—it's all been observed by something now so familiar.
My growth in itself lies the most prominent of all.
Yet this growth cannot solely be credited to the inevitable process of the past 2 years, but because I, myself chose to grow.
To put it simply:
Everyone changes, but not everyone chooses to grow.
That is the difference.
I've grown familiar with this place, just as I've grown within myself.
Yet walking through the same doors everyday numbs your memory to how far you've come.
Remind yourself, as it is invaluable for me to embrace the process. From the first day I stepped foot onto this campus, to the last day I do, I will continue to grow owing to my journey here.
