Best Memory

Alright class this is a topic from yours truly...Brynna

What is your favorite memory thus far in your life?


I will need to put some thought into this one. Let me see in my 26 almost 27 years I have a couple of phenomenal memories that stick out in my life.

First would have to be graduating from K-State. I know that it may sound cliche but it is truly one of the best memories I have. Not only was it a great accomplishment, but I will never forget the feeling of walking across the stage to get my well deserve diploma. When I think back to my high school years, it is hard for me to remember ever putting a ton of thought behind choosing a college. It was just expected that students from, Dominic, were going to school. Most kids were planning on staying in state, and of course I wanted to be different and prove my guidance counselors wrong, so I choose KSU. To set the record straight my choice of college was not based on the color of the school. It was because it was someplace different, that brought promise of making me someone that can face adversity and come out on top. Being a college graduate has opened many doors in my life and graduation in itself was both the closing of one chapter and the opening to many new chapters. Kansas State changed me and gave me challenges and opportunities that I will cherish and look back fondly upon. Lets be honest, KSU is now in my blood and I will bleed purple forever...and yes that means my children have no hope at all. Both parents are KSU alumni...meaning they are going to only have one option for school. KSU through and through.

The second memory that I consider to be one of the "best" is the memory of Christmas morning. I love the anticipation of giving and getting presents. The months of thought that goes behind planning and preparing for the day. The traditions that are followed along with the time that is spent with "dear" family members. I remember Christmas as a time as something that was comfortable, and I always knew what to expect. I like routines and enjoy doing the same thing year after year. This year was a change, but was a very special Christmas morning. Having Sophia opened my eyes behind the true meaning of Christmas. She was glowing with excitement!!! She was around 14 months old and is starting to understand and explore her surroundings. The look on her face when she walked into our living room is something I will hold dear to my heart. Not only was this the first Christmas in Scott City, but my parents and sister came to help make my home a little more special. I am sure that I will cherish many more memories with my dear Sophia. I am one lucky lady!!!
