Taking Chances-Simply Valorie

I don't remember how I wound up on Valorie's blog, but at some point, I clicked that little "follow" button and never looked back.

You see, Valorie reminds me a little of myself when I was her age (except she is WAY more driven). When I found her, she was a junior at Texas A&M University and knew that she didn't want to stay in Texas. Her dreams and aspirations were much bigger than that. I have watched her struggle with personal relationships, kick butt in college, spend a few months in China for her studies, earn her Aggie ring and finally- this past December- graduate. She wasted no time in getting started on the rest of her life. She lined up an internship and an interview for a part-time job in Washington D.C., packed her life in two suitcases and boarded a plane a few weeks ago bound for a place where she knew only one person and still had no place to live. (She is crashing on her friend's floor while apartment-hunting) She is an incredibly smart and talented young woman and I know she will do great things.

A few weeks ago, she asked for guest bloggers to write about making a big move; and since there was a time I left everything I knew to move to another country, I thought I could submit my story. Today is the day my story goes live on her blog. Head on over there, leave her some comment love and I suggest you follow her. I can't wait to hear what her future holds!

For some reason, I cannot get the button to work- but you can find her HERE: Simply, Valorie
