eve of graduation
Tomorrow is the end of a two year saga that I almost never took. I entered the social work program not really knowing what to expect, but that I knew that I couldn't do much with my bachelors in psychology degree so i decided to continue with school. I came into graduate school with low expectations, being that my Dad taught at the university, I never really considered CSUB a real school, and swore I would never go there, however I was proved wrong. Not only do I feel like I got a great social work education and background-granted there were some flaws, but I felt like for the first time in my academia career that I was part of a community. Being a graduate student taking classes with the same group of 20 or so students for two years has caused a bond that I have never felt with classmates. If anything we are more like family than anything else, sure there are some black sheep but every family has a few.
Tomorrow I officially finish my graduate program and must move on with my life. For the first time ever, I can't use the excuse of being a student to explain my unemployed status. Now I am just another kid with a college degree and no job, but soon enough I will have one of those fancy jobs were I can actually support myself and be able to leave Bakersfield.
I feel happy of my accomplishment but also a little sad that this chapter is closed. But a new chapter is beginning, and I am looking forward to the stories and adventures that are ahead.
