I am she; she is...ME!!!

On Friday, October 1, 2010, I graduated with a Masters degree.  I have never been more proud of myself, and I can truly say that I have gained a better understanding of who I am.  RhyanMichele :D  It has nothing to do with a piece of paper or accolades but everything to do with a reminder from Grams...

"Always know who you are, whose you are, and who you represent."

I am RhyanMichele Adams, an heir to the thrown.  

A daughter of THE KING...

My FATHER'S child

And I represent the FAMILY...destined for more and living in greatness!!

My experience at Full Sail University has been the most rewarding educational experience I have EVER had at an accredited institution.  It was a choice I made and followed-through all by myself.  I was not coerced to continue my education and despite the conscious efforts I make to make my parents proud, I'm making decisions for me!!  What makes Rhyan happy?? As Daddy has reassured me that I'm an adult now. This is MY life and at the end of the day, the only person I have to live with is ME.

I was able to capture many memories during my final hours at Full Sail.  I am proud of my fellow entertainment professionals.  We've come a long way, and I'm excited to learn of everyone's successes.

This episode means more to me than winning any competition.  We worked together to help each other achieve individual goals, and we were never selfish.  Our collective objective was to all survive. "NO MAN LEFT BEHIND"  Thank you for being you and for accepting me for ME!!  Muah!!

So, what have I learned??
What I want and what I do are NOT contingent on the desires of others.  There is no competition.  The sides are NEVER even.  My success is not measured by the things others see or consider to be "BIG" but the satisfaction and peace that only I hold within.  My desires are for me and no one else.   In the words of Joy Behar (in a Brooklyn, NY accent), "So what? Who cares??" lol

This is ME!!!  I am RhyanMichele Adams.  I am she; she is...... ME!!!
