At 3 PM today, I found out I got admission to Babson College - a school focused on entrepreneurship- one I've been working towards for the past year. I can't even describe the feelings I've experienced over the last five hours.
The Emily of 2022 never would have believed where I am now.
In 2020, I had a completely different major - studying international relations at a state school, having just gotten myself into an abusive relationship.
It took me years to get over the trauma I experienced and a fair amount of failed classes at my first college.
I never thought I could get into such a competitive school, and I never thought I would have a major with so much freedom, which would hopefully allow me to fully launch the business I am so passionate about.
At 6 PM, I got a notification from I am Sober, saying today I am officially 800 days clean from self-harm.
This is yet another thing I don't think I ever expected from myself. The longest streak I had before was about a year and a half. In 2022, even just two years ago, I didn't think I had a future.
I am so grateful for the resources I received for mental health and everything in between. I am also so thankful to myself for not giving up and persisting, regardless of how much I struggled along the way. Never lose faith in yourself and your resilience.
