I received the bracelet as a gift from my parents for my 24th birthday the day that I moved out of my post college apartment in Orlando, Fl.
I am a botanist and in April of 2024 I was accepted into a masters program at Kew Gardens and Queen Mary University of London. I will be studying botanical and fungal taxonomy and furthering my knowledge of the biodiverse world we all call home.
I will be moving to London in august with my cat goose to begin our new adventure almost 5,000 miles away from home.
I can say that right now as I prepare to leave home I am both excited and terrified. Which I think is the best thing to be in your early to mid 20s. You can’t truly know yourself and your world without a little bit of fear to motivate personal growth.
I hope that in a years time when I graduate I will have explored and pushed my personal boundaries to become a better student and young woman.
I don’t know who I will be but that is the best part. Accept the challenge with open arms and just let the stars guide you.
