Among the proudest things I’ve accomplished in my life was attending and graduating from Cal. The time I spent in academia shaped my life more than anything else, and the version of myself I discovered in the books at this school lead me to becoming the adult that I am. Im forever grateful to the MANY teachers, professors, friends, debtors and colleagues that all have made up my academic life and pushed me to be better than I was before. Philosophy became my key to seeing the wold in my early 20,s and the thoughts and ideas I explored in these halls are still the guiding lights for all the decisions I make today. If I could do anything different in my life it would have been to not rush so much in college; and yet Im forever grateful for the time I had there.
