When I graduated college,  I was shocked and stunned when I found that immediately following my walk across the stage, I received a diploma not a map. I expected to be handed a life road map, with a yellow brick road path to the best and brightest future. I was wrong. There was no map, there was no direction. It was up to me to find my path, to find my own grail of a future.

This is called: TRANSITION.

For me, the transition has been tough. From odd jobs to taking an Internship in Santa Monica, I am constantly seeking my niche, and have kept full faith in my belief that the best is yet to come. Though, I often find myself asking, but is it? Is there really something great around the corner for me? Is there really a path that is to what I dream of doing, or doing I have to hop over hedges along the way?

This struggle is something that nearly every college grad goes through. Even the ones in Medical, Law, and Graduate school are often asking themselves, what is my next move. And that is where I am today...actively seeking the next move. Actively engaging in all aspects of this transition so that I can, too, find what I am good at, do it, and excel beyond any expectation.

... the best truly is yet to come.
