“go back to school.”
I am now an All-American Academic Award recipient.
2026 Honor Graduate.
And somehow, still standing.
My mom flew up from Miami to Baltimore just to be in the room and that alone made every late night, every doubt, every restart worth it. I don’t take that lightly.
I didn’t come back to academia to play it safe. I came back to prove something to myself that every detour, every mistake, every season of uncertainty was preparation, not failure.
The Navy. The museum. The entrepreneurship. And now philosopher. It all leads here. And it all leads forward.
To anyone who thinks the window has closed on them, please know it hasn’t. Dreams don’t have an expiration date. They just wait for you to get serious.
Grateful. Grounded. Still going.
