...five years. 57 months. Approximately a whole lotta days...
That is the summation of my collegiate career at Texas Tech University.
The most tumultuous time of my life, and yet the most rewarding. I've grown more in this time that I did in the 18 leading up to it. I honestly can't explain what my opportunities, experiences, mistakes, awards, pitfalls, moments good and bad have meant. There's just too much to cover.
Where once a little girl walked the sidewalks of the university, now a bright, hopeful, skilled, and able young woman stands ready to take on the world.
The lessons learned, both in and out of the classroom, will serve me well in the ages to come.
Of course I have my regrets. I shouldn't have gone out that night. I should have read more for my classes. The list could go on and on. But while I call them regrets, it doesn't necessarily mean that I would change everything. So much of the "bad" has made me who I am today, and I'm OK with that.
Am I still changing? Still growing and learning? Of course, but my collegiate career has helped set me on the right path to lifelong learning.
Will I miss Tech? Yes. Am I scared to move on? Oh goodness, am I ever. But, I think I'm ready. It's my turn to go into the "real world" and show my talents and contribute to the greater good I have been striving towards helping.
