New beginnings..

For four years I have dreamt of this day - the day I could leave behind the town and people that have chained me down, the day I could walk away from bad memories and create many great memories, the day that I could be on my own experiencing my own new journey. However, I never expected it would be this hard and that it would weigh on my heart as much as it does.

But it is a new journey, one I have wished for and dreamt of since my first day of Social Inequalities in January 2007 when Dr. Jonathan White introduced Free the Children to our class. I remember thinking, "Wow, a 12 year old boy started that? An organization that really works for children and by children. How incredible!" That sparked the Social Justice League and my ongoing conversations with Jonathan about my future work with Free the Children. But never in a million years did I think it would become a reality - it was always just a big dream. But here I am... sitting in Logan International Airport waiting to board my flight to my new home - Toronto, Ontario. In just four days I will be starting my new career as a Motivational Speaker for Free the Children, and my new journey. No matter how anxious, nervous, and sad I am to be leaving my favorite state, I am beyond excited to begin my career with my dream organization.

So cheers to new beginnings, new journeys, and new experiences. I hope you enjoy my updates on life as much as I enjoy living them.

In Peace,
Bria
