In trying to figure out the course of life, there are many twists and turns in the process of self-discovery and direction. But one of the greatest questions I've been asked is "What's your passion?" What is it that makes you excited to get up in the mornings and tackle the day ahead? in answering that, you can find the most meaningful direction in your life.

So I've taken that question and advice with me everywhere I've gone. And I am still trying to answer the question: what is my passion? But what I've found over the past three weeks has taught me a lot about my 'passion' and about life.

I've come to realize that people are an integral part of your life, and as one door closes, it never truly slams shut. There is always the ability to look back and reminisce about the good old days. And I must say that memory is a vital and integral part of every life. It is the human capacity to reason and remember, and without that, we have very little. So the past is a part of the dictation of where we are going, but not the final call of life.

It is when you restart and begin anew that you begin to realize the important things in life like memory and friends. So I guess you could say that that's a part of my 'passion.' But life is far too complicated and complex to narrow it down to A passion. It is an evolving and ever-changing quest of discovery.

But in an attempt to find it you cannot be afraid to step outside the confines of comfort and give life a little challenge. It's not always an easy task but in the end makes you a far better person for it.

So this year has taught me to try new things and I have embraced that challenge this semester. I decided to take up curling... I figured when the days are dark and dreary what better way to spend an afternoon? It is truly a complicated yet thrilling sport that I have come to really enjoy! Off to read legal briefs on International Law and onto my quest of finding my 'passion' in life!
