I got the title and theme of this post from a song that speaks to transformation and growth: Listen Here.
One of my favorite definitions of the word passage is "the process from one state to another."
I got this song from the Transcend playlist from Better U, the company I've been doing my ketamine treatments with. Better U has four guiding modules: Heal, Love, Grow, and Transcend. Transcending is all about rising above and going beyond the limits of what you thought was possible. Transcendence is about breaking free from old boundaries—whether they are mental, emotional, or physical—and stepping into new territory. And I just LOVEEEEEEE the build-up this song has!!! Better U did an AMAZING job picking out the music for our treatments!
I can't remember where, but I read that your story will be someone else's survival guide. With that said, I have been writing an e-book about my experiences. I have the outline for it, but I am not sure when I will be finishing that project. It will likely be when this semester is over since I am trying to balance that with school, my actuary exams, and my Amazon business. It's still a process but I am really excited about writing it!
But I write this as my biggest token of gratitude to what was given to me. Since I didn't get to write this last semester, I wanted to write a special thank-you section now:
-
Alejandro, my integration coach at Better U. He helped me to integrate my ketamine treatments into my daily life. You have been an incredible mentor! A great role model!
-
Dr. Heiny: Dr. Heiny has been my biggest mentor since I had him for MathStat 1 the first time. He helped me not only pass a very difficult subject but also push through a really challenging period in my life when I was not retaining anything. He encouraged me and helped me to be the best student I could be. He has been very empathetic while pushing me toward my best. Passing MathStat 1 lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.
-
Dr. Ling: He has been so generous with his time, helping me through two Actuary exams. He has been firm yet compassionate, always making himself available to help me push through tough moments. Thank you for opening another P lab this semester!
-
Dr. Joe Simons: So glad to have him as my professor again this semester. A hilarious professor, an amazing teacher, and a great mentor. He gave me so many tips that helped me become a better student when I was struggling in school and life. Dr. Simons even studied topics outside his expertise with me to ensure I got the help I needed.
-
Chris Mangunza: Best YouTuber in the world of Amazon. Check out his channel. Not only has he been so generous with the information he shares on starting your Amazon business, but he also believed in me enough to bring me into his first mentorship group. I’ve already found my first products to sell on Amazon. I’m so grateful for his mentorship and the opportunity to change my financial life and give back to my mom. Thank you for helping me break out of my scarcity mindset and start making real money!
-
Carlos: Thank you so much for allowing me to rent this very comfy room in your house. I love the location, the comfort, and all the work you’ve put into this home. Thank you for the opportunity to pet-sit your cat!
-
Hannah: She has helped me so much to get through school, challenging classes, Actuary exams, and MathStat. She’s always been so generous in sharing her notes. She was instrumental in helping me study for my final MathStat 1 exam.
-
Laura: Amazing study buddy and friend! So kind of her to have invited me to spend Thanksgiving with her husband and kids and she was so kind to bring me Chik-Fil-A and a coffee once too!
-
Bella: One time I was buying ice cream at the UVU bookstore, and she received me with so much love. She helped me through a really difficult semester. When I passed MathStat 1, she was so kind and generous and even paid for my ice cream. It wasn’t just about the money; it was the generosity and her attention to how important MathStat was to me. Bella has been my biggest supporter through my ketamine treatments.
-
Maddie: I know I said this to you individually but I'm incredibly grateful for you and for how you championed for me at different times. With Abby and Emma, with your mom and with your enthusiasm when we ran into each other at UVU as well. Thank you so much for having said the kindest words to me when I was going through some major changes. I reread your words many times and the way you told your coworkers with so much excitement about running into me at school made me feel like I did something write. You have an incredibly sweet personality! And thank you so much for your encouraging words when I started this transformation!
-
My Mom: My mom is the most special soul on earth! I never met anyone as special as my mom! We went through everything and all of life's ups and downs together! I love my mom so much! I never met anyone more loving than her. She has the biggest gift of making everyone feel like their best selves and has the biggest love and compassion for animals. She's so fun to be around. We have our own internal language. I love my mom so much!!!
