If you’re reading this, I want you to know you have many amazing days ahead. 

You have landed at Clemson intentionally; however, for some, maybe because of your parent's job or the military, you’ve lived everywhere.

All I know is Clemson is exactly where you’re supposed to be! I’ve lived in a lot of places and had moments where I became frustrated because I wasn’t sure how my dreams and careers would work with moving. I became everything I said I was going to despite following a different path.

I’m a published writer and a high school teacher. Looking back those days were some of my hardest but I saw so many amazing days ahead! College is an amazing time of growth and know that you are loved and your life is pretty special!

Your life will be everything you ever dreamed even with obstacles in the way.

If you’re reading this Go Tigers and know I’m counting on you to be busy doing everything you said you would!
