Academic Aspirations and Toddler Adventures: A Year to Remember

Date: December 31, 2013


As 2013 comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey this year has been. In the midst of juggling my master's courses in Healthcare Administration and aspiring for a future in medical leadership, I’ve discovered the joy and challenge of balancing academic ambitions with the wonders of motherhood.


Our most adventurous project this year was setting up a home aquaponics system. This small ecosystem has become more than a hobby; it's a symbol of the harmony between nature and technology, and a constant reminder of the delicate balance we strive for in life.


In the heart of all this growth and learning is my little Aria, who celebrated her second birthday on August 26th. Her curiosity and zest for life are infectious. She has recently taken a shine to gymnastics, a testament to her boundless energy and enthusiasm. Watching her explore and learn is a daily reminder of the simple joys of discovery.


In the attached photo, you'll see Aria, radiating joy in her gymnastics outfit, with a vibrant rainbow overhead. This image is more than just a cute snapshot; it's a powerful representation of new beginnings and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. The rainbow, a kaleidoscope of hope, mirrors our own aspirations for the future.


Behind Aria, our aquaponics system stands as a testament to growth and sustainability. This project, while a learning curve, has been a source of immense satisfaction. It's amazing to see how, much like Aria, it has evolved and flourished over time.


As I look towards the future, whether it be in a medical school program or climbing the ranks in hospital administration, I am inspired by the resilience and adaptability that Aria and our aquaponics project have taught me. Here's to a future filled with growth, learning, and the magic of new beginnings.


Wishing everyone a year ahead filled with discovery, joy, and your own personal rainbows!
