Moving On

With only a year left until I complete my Bachelor's degree, I'm sure that I will have to start preparing myself to move on sooner rather than later. I know that college won't last forever, and that I can't have multiple part time jobs for the rest of my life. I know that sooner rather than later I will be moving out on my own, working a full time, salaried job, and making my own decisions, and not having to report back to anyone else.

Moving on has always scared me, up until now, that is. For some reason, I feel really ready to move on to the next stage of my life. College has certainly treated me well. I have learned a lot and gained an enormous amount of life experiences that have taught me well. In these 4 short semesters that I have been at ASU, I feel like I have pushed myself both academically, socially, and internally to grow outside my comfort zone. I have taken chances that I never would have before, and they have certainly paid off! Never in a million years did I think when I started out college, that I would have the opportunity to intern for Make-A-Wish America, or be offered to stay on for a second session!!!! Also, I never would have imagined that I would be named "Volunteer of the Month" at Make-A-Wish Arizona in January of this year! I did not anticipate graduating a year early, but it is happening, right before my eyes, and I am SO excited to graduate and be able to apply the knowledge and insight that I have gained through my courses and my internship to a job that I can put my heart and soul into, and hopefully impact a great many people in the process. There are so many amazing organizations out there, and I am so excited to see where I will actually end up after graduation!
