August 2008 - May 2009

I don't know what this year means to me exactly.

When I'm like 50 (if I make it that far) how will I remember this year? What will this one year that I spent at Samford University in suburban Birmingham, Alabama mean to me? Who will I remember? How will I remember the Samford experience as a whole?

One thing's for sure:

I have done a lot of growing up here.

Nothing could ever remake me into the kid that climbed into his luggage-filled Toyota Corolla and left his small, cozy, Midwestern hometown to go to college in Birmingham, Alabama, 562 miles away.

"Found my way through the door to the great unknown;
[Something was telling me that this would shape my destiny]
Take my hand, understand you are not alone."
