Starting spring quarter… everything looks shiny and new, including my new schedule. I am taking Photoshop, Adobe Animate, and the CIW Certification course (getting certified as a webmaster). It is also MY LAST QUARTER OF MATH! Hurray!! Things are speeding up, heading straight for the day when I am done with my studies so I…

I never, ever thought those words would come out through my fingers and onto the keyboard. Growing up, girls were never encouraged to excel at subjects normally thought of as…
Keep on keepin’ on…
