My Life with Resilience
To say I have demonstrated resilience is simply a statement. It’s all the contributing factors, the situations, and the actions I have chosen to really make that statement true. What is resilience? Why is it something someone wishes to demonstrate? Resilience is defined as something that is elastic or able to regain its original shape and form. It is also defined as having the capacity to recover from difficulties quickly or being “tough”. A person who demonstrates resilience is someone who has a lot to be proud of. We prove that life will throws curveballs at us, but nothing can stop us from playing the game. I would like to believe that I have the privilege of saying I demonstrated resilience this past year, and in the continuing paragraphs I would like to explain how.

The Worldly Traveler
Many of you reading this are probably like me and have spent your entire life residing in the United States of America. Similarly, you must wonder what it’s like out there in the rest of the world. Wouldn’t you love to travel and experience new countries and cultures firsthand? This unquenchable thirst for adventure leaves many of us wondering when, if ever, we might get the opportunity to have that experience. Such is not the case for the worldly traveler that is my father, Bruce. He astonishingly has lived in seven different countries on different continents throughout the globe all before the age of 17. Bruce’s father George, my grandfather, was an American Ambassador. He and his household had the responsibility of representing America on U.S. embassies in countless countries around the world. In fact, my father was born on a US embassy base in Karachi, Pakistan! As if growing up in places like Kenya, Germany, Taiwan, and South Africa wasn’t adventurous enough, my father chose to embark on his own federal career within the military at the age of 19. Several deployments and assignments led him to new destinations across the globe for the next 30 years. Adventure lives in all of us, and for my dad, traveling had become a way of life, not just a seemingly impossible idea.

I am not Afraid
I’m a person who likes to be present as often as I can. This means I’m not thinking about the past or the future, just the moments that are happening right now. It’s taken me my entire life to figure out how to do this, and even still, I find myself getting lost in my thoughts.
