Perseverance can and will pay off

The lotus flower blooms in a swamp. The seed grows out from the mud and algae on the bottom of the swamp and rises above the water to form a beautiful flower. I almost feel like a lotus flower at this point in time. This semester, as sucky as it may have been, I cannot entirely compare to a muddy swamp, although, a person can't help but feel vindicated after overcoming a difficult point in their lives. And at the risk of making this blog sound too much like a live journal, I'll leave it as it.
