A Steep Climb (#32)

With the start of a new semester comes new challenges. There are many reasons why I believe this semester will be more difficult than the last but that is ultimately a good thing. I’m excited about the new learning and experiences that will come hand in hand with the change in difficulty. You don’t have to lower your expectations, just find new ways to meet them.
