As I start the summer before my final year of undergrad, I can’t help but think at how fast the time flew by. When I first started taking college courses I was sixteen and in the HOOP program at scottsdale community college. When I started my first official year of college I felt like the timeline of me graduating was much longer than it actually was. Since I resumed my classes, I was so consumed with the work I was doing I didn’t really give any thought on how fast it would be until I graduated.
I really don’t give much thought on to what happens after I complete my goals and accomplishments. I have vague expectations of what my life will be like after a certain goal or accomplishment, and it always just ends up working out until one day I realize I accomplished what I set out to do and I was living the life I had expected. This is how it always has been. For me thinking about what comes after a milestone is scarier than to think about doing what needs to be done to accomplish the task. I try my hardest to focus on the immediate tasks that need to be done to complete an accomplishment, the mundane things.
Overall I feel like I’m at least halfway towards the goals and accomplishments I have set out to complete. I am lucky enough to have the support of my entire family in the journey I have decided to take which has helped me immensely. The support that I have received has been the backbone of believing in myself and my ability to accomplish the things I have set out to do.
