Nine weeks, fifty-eight days, or approximately 1,392 hours until the best day of my life thus far: high school graduation. This long awaited day has finally almost arrived, marking the beginning of a completely new chapter in my life. The very thought of college makes my imagination go wild with the limitless possibilities of the unknown. New people, new school, new classes, new living conditions, new city- it seems like a completely new world.
After attending the same extremely small private school since kindergarten, this change is going to be monumental and slightly frightening. I have never experienced another school environment or a different group of people than those who I have known for years. However, taking a few classes at Georgia Highlands my senior year has definitely helped prepare me for the "outside" world. So far, I completely love the "college experience" even though its far from being complete. The drama is diminished significantly and there aren't strict dress codes or class requirements. The lectures actually seem applicable to my future and I know that in four years, all of the late night studying and stressful assignments will allow me to be successful.
I nine short weeks I will officially be a Kennesaw State University Owl, studying nursing. My true passion, however, lies with early deaf education so I plan on transferring to Valdosta State University after a year to double major in ASL (American Sign Language) education and nursing. Hopefully, I will be able to receive a degree in both, but we will just have to see how that goes. After college graduation, the world is my playground. What the future holds? I haven't the slightest idea. But I will live life to the fullest and wait patiently until the time comes to
fulfill my future!
Only 1,392 hours until I graduate. But hey, who's counting?
