My life as a college student goes on a lot like the lives of countless other students around the world. However similar my experiences are to those of others, I know that my complete set of experiences (aka: my life) is unique and there is no one exactly like me in the whole world. In fact, I am a special son of God and have been blessed and permitted many opportunities to learn and to grow. He has given me the power to make decisions and choose how I want to live. He has given me the ability to reason and to weigh options so that I can "own" what I do with my life. With that power, He has promised me the guidance that I need to be able to make the right choices at all times. If I only rely on Him, nothing can go permanently go wrong. That knowledge is what keeps me going on. That's what keeps me optimistic about everything in my life. That's what makes me truly happy.
