2022 was a year of personal growth and self-discovery for me. I took a gap semester from school, which was a risk that ended up being an amazing experience. I also had the chance to think about my beliefs and assumptions in a deeper way, and while I don't have all the answers yet, I feel like I know myself better and am more confident in my path. It was a year of pushing myself out of my comfort zone and it has paid off in terms of personal growth.
