Path, All Mine

YA! is a gift, inclusive of successful missions aimed at making me feel inept, with their list of elite schools and perfect academic achievements. Entering a local university was never a major feat. As if, it was never a gamble. As if, it’s the obvious. As if, these schools welcome them, and they know it. Incredibly humble, yet intimidation was inevitable. For me.

YA! is a gift so totally precious, because they showed and often say, though subtly sometimes, that I am just as capable. We worked, they saw, faith restored. Now, I just need to hold on to that for two more AYs. Hang in there Shahida, you know you were made for better stuff.
