Transitions

       Life has many transitions. Upon having a new change in life, a new experience is had. Without those changes, we are left in a comfort zone that can be all too familiar. What if we never left those areas of comfort? What things would we never experience and learn? 

       A recent transition of mine is the long awaited transfer from Chabot College of Hayward to San Jose State University. It took me awhile to realize what I truly wanted in life. Trust me, it can take people some time. During my extended time at Chabot, I have learned many things, had great experiences, met awesome people, and came out with an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts. Not saying that I stayed comfortably, but I definitely needed a change. So the spring semester of 2011, I charged at my final last three classes and finished. The acceptance from SJSU had me all smiles. I can still remember the feeling of reading "congratulations" on the letter. Come this Fall, I will be taking classes towards my major of Japanese. It is a much needed transition for me, and I can't wait. I am currently waiting for my final transcript to be processed so I can register for classes. 

Life has many changes. Uncomfortable as some may be, they give us the experiences that allow us growth in life. To all the 2011 graduates, life awaits. Take your time and do not get caught up in all the hard work. Your efforts will pay off, just remember to have some fun in the process.
