The start of my last year of college....

So my last year of college starts on Monday.  I'm excited but nervous at the same time.  I'm ready to get that degree and start teaching in the classrooms, but afraid of not being able to accomplish anything when I face the world.  Gosh!  It's really crazy how fast time flies by! It still feels like I just transferred to college out here in California.  

These past couple of days have been days of reflecting and thinking about the future.  I've reflected on how far I've come, and how thankful I am to have come this far.  I wouldn't have done it without the prayers and support of family and friends, and of course, God always having His hand over me everywhere I am.  When I graduate, I will be the first grandchild on my father's side with a bachelor's degree!  It's such a privilege and an honor to get this kind of degree because without the help and support of my immediate family, I wouldn't be receiving this degree.

I look forward to what this year has to offer, but a little sad at the same time because I know that this year is going to fly by and before I know it, I'm walking up on that stage receiving my degree.  I guess the one thing that I'm concerned about, is what I'm going to do after I graduate.  I'm thinking of teaching for a year and then aiming to enter SF State's education program to receive my Master's degree.  But we'll see.  My parents have two more kids to put through college, so after this last year, I'm pretty much on my own.  So, I'm just worried about being financially stable after college.  Yes, the Lord will provide, but that's no excuse to just lay back and do nothing.  I gotta work my butt off to enjoy the little luxuries of life... like FOOD! haha!  I'm ready to work hard and become more independent, but I'm scared at the same time.  

So here I am, a soon-to-be college graduate, trying to figure out what the next two years will look like for me.  Wherever I end up, that's where I'm suppose to be.  Life is crazy, I might end up in places I never thought I'd end up!  You know!!?? :)  Anyways, when I get it all figured out, I'll let you know what's going down with my life! :)  Good luck to everyone on the new school year!
