Becoming more real.
The more I look through information concerning the colleges I have picked to transfer too the more things start to set in. I have filled out applications for transfering for three different colleges, and the more I think about it the more real it becomes that I am about to finish my two year degree at the community college and move on with a bigger part of my life. Granted, I am 21 and have yet to live away from home or on my own where my mother or other immediate family was readily available at my disposal.
When I graduated high school, I was accepted into another branch of the U. of South Carolina campus (the Aiken Campus) which is about 4 hours (I think?) from where I live currently; at this time I was 18, just graduated high school and wasn’t ready to let go of that comfort of having my family there for my needs…so I didn’t go and have been at the community college since then. I screwed around my first year at the community college which technically (in my mind) put me a year behind, but now that I am finishing up I realize and feel that I am ready to move on with life. I’m ready to start life in general: degree, career, marriage, family…all of it. I am just ready to feel independant to the max and not have to worry about anyone else but myself and my own decisions and how they will affect me and only me. I am just ready to become the person that I’ve always wanted to be and see myself being in the future. I’m so ready and I can’t wait.
