Senior Year Fears

Hey thanks for stopping by and taking time to read my blog. I think for this one I want to talk about how nervous I am to actually graduate with my bachelor’s degree. But your probably thinking why this should be exciting time in your life. And it is but I am still scared see, I never graduated from high school. I was forced to drop out when I was just 16 years old. I can remember the day like it was yesterday. It was November 14^th 2006. My dad had been threatening me for years telling me if I didn’t get my grades up that he would make me drop out. Well when I finally got into high school he became more serious about the matter so I reached out to my advisers and principles but no one believed me. They said he can’t make you, it’s against the law. Well on that day my dad came to pick me up from school he walked into the office and he dis-enrolled me. He told them we were moving and I was going to be going to another school. That was just a big fat lie but they believed it. I didn’t ever go back to high school after that day. However when I was 18 I went to enroll myself into a GED program where in less than a year I received my GED. From here I started taking a class to become an EMT-emergency medical technician. I didn’t pass it my first time but I did my second time. But I never did anything with it instead I decide to go to Community College and take some lower division courses. So two and half years later I transfer to ASU with no diploma. It was taking for ever to get anywhere at the community college so when I had the chance I took it and I transfer to ASU in the Fall of 2013.  Man I never even thought I would get this far. From a no body high school drop out to a University student. It was a huge deal for me. When I transferred in only 27 of my credits transferred that means I started in my sophomore year here at ASU. So when I graduate here in Spring of 16 it will have been almost 10 years from the time I dropped out until I got my bachelor’s degree. I will be the first person in my family to have a bachelor’s. SO although I want to go on to Grad school this will be the first time I actually graduate with something. It’s such a nerve raking felling. It makes me scared, sad, happy, excited, and unsure most of all. I don’t know what is going to be next for me. I don’t know how this will change my life. What is in store for me? It makes me scared to have such a huge change about to happen in my life. I mean by the time I graduate I will have been going to school for almost 6 years. That’s a long time and it will be over before I know it. Anyways I guess I just wanted to share some of my thoughts about graduating and how nervous it really does make me.
