Back to Blogging! My last day at Mission College

Where do I even begin...

My goodness, the amount of insane things that could happen within two weeks has just crash landed right on to my plate. I truly missed my blog and yearned for the typing sound my computer makes as I transition my thoughts on to the screen.

There are SO many things that I would love to blog about. ....the only problem is: I have no idea where to begin!!
I feel so out of the loop with blogging, and although I am still new to it, I feel as if I can't grasp a hold of how this is done. I really had to push myself today and make myself sit down and blog before I tend to anything else.
Within the past two weeks, my life consisted of finals, studying and work. I know that I mentioned procrastination in my previous post, and in order to live up to my own advice, I put blogging aside and studied my little heart out. I am now confidently able to say, that my studying did pay off, and that I am mostly sure that I did quite well on my final exams.


Last Day at Mission College

After I finished my Biology final, I couldn't help but stare at this school for the last time. Considering that I have been taking classes here since I was 16, I can't help but feel as if this place was my high school instead of college. There is something about this place, specifically at night, that gives me a comforting and nostalgic feeling. I looked down at the center for one of the last times and quietly smiled to myself. This spot in the photograph is where I would sit and study, wait for my ride to pick me up from class, and where I walked for my high school graduation.
I do not think that I have mentioned this before, but I was enrolled in the Mission Middle College Program. It is an alternative education plan for high schoolers who are seeking to academically challenge themselves. Some kids go out and get their AA's or AS's before their high school diploma; I wish I did that. Instead, I took plenty of general education courses that helped me climb ahead.
I remember being 16 and walking around this campus with the most largest smile, and a feeling deep down, that there were unbelievable opportunities waiting ahead of me. My mind still can not grasp how true this is. (That's for another blog post)

Coming to Mission College was one of the best decisions that I have ever made on my own. I remember walking around, late at night, and simply enjoying everything about my place as a student. It seems like just yesterday when I took my first college course and passionately fell in love with the college setting.
However, after I turned 18, I thought of it as "Okay, enough already. I can't wait to get out of here!!"
Now that that day has come, all I can do is smile at all of the memories, teachers, and friends that I have encountered here. This school has made me grow so much, that I would not be who I am today, and I would not be going in the direction that I am without this experience.
