Its been a long road

Taking a step back I wanted to summarize my journey so far. I started this blog at the end of January explaining how my goal was to not only become a jockey but win the Kentucky derby. The posts to follow where about \the NARA. I than tolled of my experience when I  visited The NARA and how much I fell in love with the program. after the trip I let everyone know how very selective it was and that I still had hope of getting in. Than on the night of March 14th my life and dream almost came to an end when I had my car accident. I told of the long process of wearing my halo for 3 months and how I was thankful not to only have my life but that I was still able to be a jockey. Than came the day I was suppose to get my halo off but unfortunately there was no bone growth. The following Friday I was planning on heading to Kentucky for my Interview and I didn't want anything to get in the way So I opted for the surgery the very next morning. The surgery went well even though my throat was very very soar. I was thankful I was still able to attend my interview. A few days after the interview I received the email telling me I had been accepted It was one of the happiest days of my life. It has been a long road with a bunch of twist and turns but I have made it. I'm going back to steak n shake July 6th to start working again. Things are finally starting to go back to normal. Even though there have been numerous challenges. I made it and am heading towards my dream at a full sprint. I will become a Jockey and I will win the Kentucky derby nothing will stop me and nothing can hold me back. I'm on my way and wont be looking back. I see the open road ahead and running at it at in a full out sprint.
