My Untold Sight Loss Journey - Part 3

This week, as I continue sharing untold stories from my sight loss journey, we are taking it back to 2019 and 2020. I hope you enjoy!

2019:

In 2019, I graduated from college…Finally! It was a day that I had been looking forward to since I began my collegiate journey in 2012.

After losing my sight, it was also a day that I never thought would come.

On a December morning, however, I donned my cap and gown and made my way to the University of West Georgia to receive my diploma.

New Year, Same God

Did you know that the tradition of New Year’s resolutions is actually thought to date back to the ancient Babylonians?

About 4,000 years ago, these people would make promises to their gods in hopes that they could keep their word and find favor in the eyes of their idols.

Our resolutions today are not that different.

We make promises to ourselves in hopes to better our careers, health, or relationships in the year to come.

We hope that, if we keep these vows of change, the year will be favorable for us.

For many people, the new year represents a fresh start and a chance to reinvent ourselves.

After the tumultuous year that 2020 has been, I think that we all are craving a little change.
