✨ Life update ✨
After a lot of prayer and reflection, I’ve made the hard decision to step away from college. I finished a 5‑week course at Colorado Christian University, but the final project (30 pages!) left me physically sick and in a lot of pain, especially in my hands. By the time the next course started, I was already falling behind, and it became clear I just couldn’t keep pushing through.
This was my fourth attempt at college, and I think I’m finally accepting that maybe it’s not the right path for me. That’s bittersweet since college has been my dream since I was little, but I’m choosing peace over burnout. I’ll be using my student loan refund check to cover what I owe, so thankfully that part is manageable.
The good news: stepping away from school doesn’t mean stepping away from learning. 🎉 I’ve already started diving back into coding through Codecademy and other resources, and I’m excited to keep building skills in ways that fit my health and energy better. Software development and accessibility work are still passions of mine, and I’m trusting God to open doors in those areas.
So, prayers appreciated for wisdom and peace as I let go of one dream and lean into new ones. And if you’ve ever had to pivot from a long‑held plan, I’d love to hear how you found joy in the new path. 💜
