HI
When I was younger, I dropped a cone of chocolate ice cream on my favorite shirt. I was hysterical as I looked up at my dad as he said, “it’s not a stain, it’s a memory”. Every time I wore the shirt after that incident, I would look in the mirror and smile. I could look past the undisguisable brown smudge and think of the unforgettable memory of a great day with my dad. His optimistic words still stick with me in everything I do today, and I’m constantly discovering that everything I have done, will somehow benefit me in the long run. I took five years of Spanish, ended up doing nothing with it. I was disappointed until I found myself salsa dancing in Spain. I was a film major, thought it was a huge waste of time, but now it benefits me in my everyday creative endeavors. I took countless art history classes, messing up all my credits but now I can beat anyone at "art" on Trivia Crack. So I never consider things mistakes and I don’t regret things I’ve done. All prior “missteps” I’ve taken will eventually become another inevitable but outstanding and beautiful stain in my life.
I AM EMILY FLAGG.
