As I begin my fourth and final semester at Southeast Tech, I feel very excited and nervous. It’s hard to believe that after this semester I am going to graduate and start my journey in the “real world” with a “real job,” not just a part-time job along with school. These past two years, I have been taught and have learned so much. I am so thankful for all my experiences and the chances I have been given during my college experience. I want to talk about and highlight some of the best moments and memories I’ve had over the past two years.
What I loved most about my college experience was the volleyball intramurals they offered. I love volleyball and I play it whenever I can. I loved playing with all sorts of people. Another thing I loved was the classes they offered here. It offered everything I wanted and more. I was able to learn everything I needed to be successful in this occupation. I was worried that I wouldn’t be good enough to succeed in this industry, but I knew that with practice and time, I would improve, and I have. One last thing that I love about my college experience is the friends I made along the way. I was very worried at the beginning of this new journey that I wouldn’t be able to make new friends or fit in, but I was very wrong. I have met so many amazing people that I can confidently call my friends. They are all so very wonderful and I am very happy I was able to meet them and hope I will be able to stay in touch after graduation.
Also, one last thing I want to talk about is the Portfolio Show at the end of the year. As I said earlier, I was very wary of starting my journey here, fearing I wouldn’t be able to be successful with my skills coming into college. But now more confident in my skills and excited to find joy in pursuing a lifelong career that I love. The Portfolio Show is used as a way to get connected to people and to show them our work. I am very excited to meet more people from the industry or those who want to hire for it.
Overall I am sad that this part of my life is coming to a close, but I am also very excited. I want to be able to stretch out and get a good job. I want to be able to get a good, fun, and nice-paying job. I want to be able to live comfortably and not have to worry about money. And lastly, I want to always remember all the memories and experiences I had during this time. I am so very proud of myself for how much I have grown and hope to grow more in the future.
