In comparison to last semester's events, I've taken a full-spin on my priorities this month. I'm still not used to being back in an academic setting and it's taken so much of myself in trying to solely focus on school. I am looking forward to the end of this semester so I can finally be home with my family and my little girl. I hope she knows that all my hard work is due to the life that I want to provide for her. Here are this semester's highlights...
