My time here has come to an end!
To be perfectly honest, graduating is the best feeling in the world right now.
It's so hard for me to believe that I will be completing a part of my education at DC3. I not only feel a sense of relief, but I also feel so accomplished.
DC3 has taught me so many things that I will take with me. I have learned that not everything goes your way. And sometimes you have to be grateful for the outcome in which things turn out. Not only do you have to work hard, but you must do what you feel is the best for others, even when everyone is against you. Soccer at DC3 has taught me all of the above. Good things come when hard work and dedication are present. I will always remember my freshman year's team and how hungry we were to make it to the top, until we got a taste of the final four in the conference.
What I thought would be one of the greatest times at DC3 became spoiled by a change of plans. Not knowing if there would be a soccer coach was the biggest anxiety I have ever felt. Just when I thought we wouldn't have a team, Coach Crawford was hired (She saved my life!).
I have also learned that all the information that I have acquired will prepare me for my next course in which I will be partaking. All my teachers have been an important part of my experience at DC3. Many of them I have learned a great deal from, while others left me wondering what I learned -- if I had learned anything at all. One teacher I had commented on my paper at the end of it saying that he thought I was a bad student. Instead of taking it the wrong way, it was more of a wakeup call, forcing me to pull it together! One teacher completely pulled my enthusiasm away from one of my favorite subjects. I love this subject so much that regardless of this teacher I will continue to pursue it!
Now to get to the why graduating is the best feeling in world; my family is cheering for me all the way. I'm excited to make my family proud. I know how important it is for them that I get a better education. It's funny because my dad always tells me that I need to get a good education so I can have a good job, make a lot of money, so if I end up getting married to a jerk and he leaves me, I'll be able to provide for myself. I laugh every time I think about him. Both of my parents work so hard. Now that I'll be graduating I'm pleased that I'm getting closer and closer to making my family proud.
