I have to admit, walking onto a new campus with so many new people was quite frightening the first day. I basically just took a look around and tried to absorb it all in at once, and it was impossible. I have always looked forward to college, in high school that was all I ever thought about. I guess I wanted it to be exactly how it’s portrayed in the movies. That’s definitely not the case, to me anyway. All the movies showed me how independent you could be and that there are parties every night. Not one movie ever prepared me for all the work and walking I’ll be doing the next four or more years, but im ready to take on the challenge. In high school I was an average student, passing with B’s but never going above and beyond what was expected of me. This year I want to set my goals high. I know I will have to really push myself to keep up with all of the overwhelming work.
My goals for the future are to get into the childhood education program and to also become a teacher. In order to do those things I need to focus on now, the present. In order to achieve my dreams I have to work hard and not slack off like I tended to do in high school. Although these first few days have been quite overwhelming I think I may already be getting the hang of it. I already found a closer place to park my car, since I am a commuter. The first day I basically had to run all around campus because I had no idea where all the buildings were or where I was going. I also purchased a planner, so that I can keep my assignments clear and easy to read all in one place. I know college won’t be easy, and I’m not expecting to just breeze through it. I’m ready to take on a challenge, a challenge of a new journey.
