Graduation is Finally Here

When I was young, people asked me what I want to be when I grew up and I said,” I don't know. What I do know is that I want to go to college and graduate”. It has been four years since I entered Sonoma State as a freshmen. It has been a long, journey thus far. I have met some of the most amazing people that I've ever known. I am proud to say that I know more than I do when I started college. It feels really strange and exciting that I will be graduating on Saturday, May 28^th. I have had deal with State budget issues which resulted in problems with getting classes which was not fun at all. I have had semesters where I have had to take more than fifteen units. My college experience would not be the same without the Communications department. My knowledge has expanded as a Communications student. I met some of the best people in the entire world in the communications departments. For the first time, I actually have professors that care for me like friends. They want to see me excel and they want me to keep in touch with them. I took the STAR at Sonoma State and learned how to write for a newspaper. I want to thank the communications professors for making my experience wonderful. As I look back on my experiences and challenges, I wouldn't change any of it for the world. I am happy with who I am and where my future is headed.

Even though, I am already done with finals, I feel a sense of nervousness about graduation for some reason. Part of me, by be, I know it will be a happy yet emotional day for me. I have gone through four years of college and have excelled. I am moving on to bigger things but, have learned so much. I have made some really good friends and will keep in touch. It is nice to have an answer when family and friends ask me what I am doing after college. I will say, I am moving to LA and going to graduate school. Attending my communications classes was one of my favorite parts of Sonoma State and I will continue my love for communications. As I am writing this I am feeling sad and happy. I have made a huge accomplishment that I am proud of and I am becoming a adult.
