All good things must come to an end...

From counting down the semesters, to months, to weeks, and now just a few more days... the time has come.

Over the last three years, I have been rigorously working towards my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of North Texas.

As a First-Generation student raised by a single mom, I was not sure how successful I would be on this journey.

Through trying semesters, hard tasks, and long nights, I can wrap up by saying I did my big one.

My time here at UNT has not been spent in vain. I am proud to have served as an Orientation Leader, a TAMS Resident Assistant, an Honors College Mentor, an officer for an honor society, and a Research Assistant.

I am so honored to have touched so many lives, and I thank every single person who has allowed me to do so.

I have a village of people to thank:

- Mom: You have always been. continue to be, and will forever be, my biggest supporter. Thank you so much for doing everything possible for me. You have been my ride-or-die since day one. I love you so much.

- Family: Thank you all so much for being alongside me my entire life. Your support means so much to me.

- Professors: This genuinely would not have been possible without you all. Your collective ability to touch lives through academia is something I find to be very special. Whether I took seven classes with you or even just one, thank you for being there.

- Student Coworkers: Whether past or current, each of you has impacted my life significantly. I have learned so much from all of you on various matters. You all have helped shape me not only professionally but also in my overall growth.

As I say goodbye to UNT, I am filled with many memories and a heavy sense of nostalgia.

While this chapter of my life storybook closes, the next one opens; a very special thank you to @bayloruniversity and @baylorschoolpsych, for letting me pursue my next journey with you.

Much love to you all; remember to reach for the stars and beyond.

All the best, and signing off,
Shawn Parker
