“A Graduating Senior” --- Yakima County, WA state
Hi my wonderful friends / followers on Tumblr ... I just wanted to let you know that despite all the hardships 2020 brought with it, I hope that failure does not determine your destiny and that you can rise to the challenge in 2021, if you think it does!
As a senior in college at Central Washington University, I will be graduating soon with a Bachelor's degree in Biology. After the pandemic of the corona-virus hit our distraught nation, and the world, one of the more fascinating questions in everyone's mind was, "what will be the cure?," Or "who will come up with the vaccine to alleviate COVID- 19? " This made me think of something Albert Einstein, the great and noble scientist, who once said, 'the important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. 'With a vaccine now underway for saving the lives of millions of potential victims of the virus, I have been inspired to apply for Pharmacy School in the hopes of furthering my own knowledge and insight into what it takes to truly make cures happen. So if there is anything you can do to change the world, start with yourself ... and always believe! I know that my path won't be easy, but if there is anything I have learned from my own failures and mistakes, it is that these failures can't determine my destiny and future goals! All the best to you, as I think I may need it too! :)

Nothing Gold Can Stay---Taken at Franklin Park, Yakima County, WA state...
“Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay.”
---Robert Frost
“Just my mom and I”... we wish you a wonderful Christmas season everyone!
I think it is important not to forget that...
“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
---J.R.R. Tolkien

“Whilst Broken with the Sunlight”---Yakima Canyon, WA state
All the best to new beginnings everyone, as today is without question, the mark of something new! May you see sunshine where others see shadows and opportunities where others see obstacles!
“Does the sun promise to shine? No, but it will— even behind the darkest clouds, and no promise will make it shine longer or brighter for that is its fate, to burn until it can burn no more. To love this world is not my promise but my fate— to burn for this world until I can burn no more.”
