A New Chapter

I have seriously neglected my writing duties, and sincerely apologize to all of my fans and followers. You deserve a more dedicated and consistent writer. I am committing to regularly writing on this blog, updating you all with my life, as well as with inspirational stories and messages that will hopefully enhance your life. So, let this new chapter begin...

On April 21, 2011 I, Jesse Edward (as in Edward from Twilight) Croskrey, graduated from Brigham Young University with my degree in psychology. I know what you're all thinking: Is he psychoanalyzing me? Yes, I am. Also, I know what else you guys thinking: How is Jesse such a poor writer for having just graduated from a respectable university? I do not know a specific answer to this question. Maybe I failed to read well enough during my college years? Perhaps my teachers lied to me, saying my writing was excellent when in reality, it really sucked? I will never know the answer to this question, and quite frankly, it's beside the point. What is important, for you and for me, is that I am writing again, and you are able to keep up with my life. So, without further adieu, I will fill you in on what's occurred since I last blogged, which was in December.

In January, I started my last semester as a BYU student. I took 12 credits, four classes. They were all enjoyable and manageable. I had never taken this few of credits, but because each was a 3 credit class, they kept me busy. I wish I could say I started exercising with more time on my hands. Being my last semester of school, it also means it was my last semester of working on campus at the testing center. I will miss that place. It was a wonderful home to me for the past three years. I learned a lot, and met many wonderful people that have come to be some of my closest friends. I am grateful to have worked at a fine establishment and to have associated with such high class individuals. I will dearly miss them and hope to keep in contact with them. I would like to give a shout out to my boss, Linda. She led by example of how a person ought to work; with dedication.

This past semester I became an uncle for the first time in my life. My brother Jason and sister-in-law Kayla had a precious little girl, Kenzie Mae Croskrey. She is so beautiful and perfect. I still have not met her but will in a month or so. If any of you feel so inclined, you may call me Uncle Jesse.

This last semester provided me many wonderful and fun opportunities as well as some trials and struggles. I have figured that through the thick and the thin, I ultimately can choose my attitude and how I act and react to all situations. I know that I am not perfect; I am very far from it in fact. I do not always make the right decision, say the right words, or act in the proper fashion. I know I need to become a better person. This is my hope and my goal as I have graduated and am starting this new chapter of my life.
