Hi there everyone!!!
Hope everyone had a safe and fun spring break and if you were like me and only got a break from school I hoped you enjoyed it!
Hope you all were able to attend the grad fair... and even though it was kinda expensive.. it sure did make me more excited for graduation! These past 5 years have been really tough for me and I am sprinting towards that finish line.
Im sure you are all wondering 5 years? Well here is a little background story for you.
I was born and raised in a small town. We had two stoplights- one at the beginning of town and one at the end. I went to school K-12 with all of the same kids. My best friend has been my best friend since first grade.
I was very athletic and played 3 sports all throughout high school. It was my dream to play a sport in college. Softball was my passion and I was pretty good at it. So, when senior year came around I began to get offers from colleges. I decided along with my family that I would stay in Arizona for at least the first two years. I decided to accept a scholarship for Glendale Community College- GO GAUCHOS! :) Those two years were tough, mentally and physically. I moved out of my parents house. lived in my own apartment, I was in the middle of a city, I was a college student athlete and it all was a big change!! After my two years at GCC was over I made the decisions to stop playing softball (mostly because my arm had given me a lot of trouble the last season) and to focus on school and finding a career.
I did what most college students do and change my major... a few times. I was not sure what I wanted to do and I did not want to go to ASU and pay thousands of dollars and change my mind again. So that fall I took a few classes at Chandler-Gilbert Community College until I made a decision on what I wanted to pursue. So here I am graduating in 2015.
Throughout these past two and a half years at ASU I have to work and go to school full-time and complete my internship in order to graduate.
Now that we are in the home stretch I am proud to say and look back on what all I have accomplished in these last five years. A lot of people from my hometown a) never leave or b) leave and go right back. They all said I would be a "one and done" but I think that is what motivated me most. I wanted to prove those people wrong and become the person I am today-with a college degree!
Here we go! See you all soon.. Very soon! :)
I wish that I would have had time to attend Grad Fair. It seems to have fallen during the most busty time during my internship and class schedule. There still seems to be so much to do and so little time between now and graduation. These are exciting times. I am glad that you were able to take advantage of Grad Fair.
