My life before SCSU was blissfully
simple… school, extra curricular activities, my boyfriend and my group of 16
girlfriends. I could never imagine life being much more than that, and I was
content with this idea. All the talk of college seemed so distant from me
because I really did not know what to expect. College can be filled with
anxiety and uncertainty because every experience is individual and unique to
the student. One student may work hard and excel while another may watch this
opportunity pass them by.
For me, college is about shaping my
life both academically and socially. I wish to gain experience and confidence
to the highest degree. I admit that I am very anal and particular about the
expectations I have for myself and for the university. I expect myself to have
the drive to work harder than I have ever worked before. My background has
taught me that you can always do more. I plan to apply this in all aspects of
my life as a college student.
Although I have only been submerged
into this experience for a very short period of time, the impression it has
placed upon me has been so positive. With a welcoming environment and the
resources needed to succeed, SCSU has made the transition into college life much
easier for me. My professors and classmates are friendly, approachable and
extremely helpful. I personally believe that support is one of the most vital
and key aspects to success. Sure hard work, dedication and conscientiousness
all come into play but having this support system is truly what lifts you up.
In this present moment, I have to
make choices that may or may not have an impact on my future. So many people
are concerned with what they are going to do next instead of just living for
what is right in front of them. Yes, I am concerned with my future but I am
more importantly concerned with my happiness. SCSU is both my future and my
happiness, I guess I just got lucky that way.
