Artifacts

This is a picture from one memorable experience from my first semester at Ohio State.  I went to hear Wes Moore, the author of the book we were assigned to read over the summer, speak about his novel The Other Wes Moore.  I got the opportunity to meet him, so looking at this photograph makes me think back to that experience and how I felt in that moment.  While Wes was speaking, he quoted something Oprah had said to him after being asked the question, “Can you ever ask God for too much?” which really stuck out to me: “There is nothing you can possibly think of to to ask for that God hasn’t already planned for you.”  I feel that this is really applicable in my personal life, as well as in my professional life.  If I ever feel worried about a situation, event, etc. I think back to this quote and remember to stay positive and know that everything happens for a reason.  It has been motivational for me to have this quote to refer to during my college experience thus far, and I will apply it to future personal and professional experiences.
