Closing Thoughts, Pt 1.

Through the years, I have become increasingly confident in my own abilities - maybe even to the point of arrogance at times. I came into this year with my head held high, confident and ready to endure the daunting tasks associated with the second year of pre-pharmacy here at Purdue University. I envisioned myself leaving Purdue in May 2009, head held high, as a member the Purdue School of Pharmacy's 2014 graduating class. As I am down to my final 25 days, I am prepared to leave Purdue with my head held high but not because I am a member of Purdue's pharmacy school and not because I fought an uphill battle to get into Midwestern University's Chicago College of Pharmacy. By all means, I am blessed and thankful to be in the position I am in but my accomplishments are no longer the source of my confidence. To put confidence in the things of this world is foolish. We see how quickly the things of this world fade. I am leaving Purdue not in the confidence of who I am or who God made me to be, but rather in full confidence of the sovereignty of God.
