Closing a Chapter

finally… the long awaited moment.

college years had been great. even my last year, my 5th year, in college. i have learned many valuable lessons. from how to avoid making stupid decisions to learning about self-care. some mistakes were made, but i know i have learned from them as well. 

looking back at freshman year, i know have come far. it is nice to know that i have grown, after five years of edumacation… and re-edumacation. it had opened my eyes to appreciate the person that i am, the people around me, and things that are given to me. these lessons are shaping me to be who i am going to be in the near future, and preparing me for the things to come.

i am looking forward to more lessons and adventures.

I Know It’s A Little Bit Early, But…

this coming weekend i will be giving a campus tour to my middle school girls in the after-school program.  i don’t know where i am going to take them yet.  they for sure wanted to see my dorm.  i think that’s what they are most excited about.  during the few hours we are going to be touring the campus, we would be walking around the u-district annual fair.  it was planned on that day, so then they would be able to have something else other than the campus to look at.

i’m rather excited about this.  i believe that everyone should have the right to choose to live a decent life, and these days often entails going to college.  even tho there seems to be a lot of asians on campus compares to other minority groups, i am hoping this trip will give my girls some exposure to college.  just so that they would know about it and be encouraged to go in their future, despite their home circumstances.  this is not about statistics.  i was fortunate enough to be in a family who supports my education, and i just want my girls to be informed about college as well.   so later in their lives they can have a choice to go.
