Dear Logan,
Congratulations on completing your third year at the University of Georgia. This milestone is a testament to your dedication and hard work over the past few years. As this season of your life begins to transition, I find it only fitting to highlight three bits of wisdom I have learned over the past few years.
First, cherish time with your family. You don’t realize how much family time is taken for granted until after moving away for college. Tell your parents you love them even when it’s hard. Intentionally Interact with your sisters even when it’s not convenient for you. Love is patient and kind. Your family members are some of your best friends and most influential mentors. They are going to be there for you during your best and worst days. Express your love for them because they most certainly love you.
Second, meet people where they are. At college you find that people will be different than you in more ways than one. When meeting people, seek first to understand and then to be understood. Use your talents to acknowledge and respect a person’s experiences. Be vulnerable when relating to people. Avoid trying to solve their problems. Comfort them in their pursuit of joy. Bear their burdens, but don’t take up their space. This approach shifts the spotlight away from you and instead enable them to overcome their own obstacles more effectively.
Finally, give as often as you receive. Mentorship takes many forms. Occasionally, it’s a lifelong commitment. Oftentimes, mentorship happens in the moments people least expect it. Take what you know and pay it forward. Share what you have learned to benefit others. Use your talents to inspire, encourage, and empower. Lean on your faith for direction and clarity on what that effort looks like. Overall, serve as a mentor for others just as people have done for you.
Again, congratulations on finishing your third year. Continue to seek out opportunities that take you out of your comfort zone. Learn to prioritize your involvement based on your core values. Take this wisdom into your final year if it’s applicable. If not, discern new wisdom. Just know He has made plan to prosper and keep you. Rest in that simple truth.
Good luck on your future endeavors. I wish you the very best in the years ahead.
In Christ,
Logan
