a letter to my editors -

Dear Garth, Mom & Dad,

I somehow just managed to 4.0 another semester of college. I now have a 3.73 GPA. It hasn't always been that way, college grades have never come easy for me -- it takes a lot of 4.0's to raise oneself from a completely unfocused 1.9 GPA. Sometimes it was just plain impossible to envision there would ever actually be a finish line.

Thank you for believing in me, always encouraging me to never give up on my goals & dreams. I couldn't do any of this without all of you in my corner.
Love,
Marissa

Proverbs 3:5,6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Good job! I have a 3.6 and I am damn proud. I have worked, taken care of 2 children, one special needs, and tried to keep my house looking somewhat decent, while taking care of the wifely duties too. It is not easy!
