My Plans Here at SCSU

  College is an opportunity to further my education, as well as an opportunity for me to grow as an adult. I can and will accomplish many things here at SCSU. For example, working towards earning my bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I know that getting into the education department is competitive, but i will do it. Not only that, but I plan on having a social life here at SCSU. I want to meet new people and make life long friends. In order to accomplish getting my degree and having a social life, I plan to set two goals for myself. The first goal that I plan to set for myself is to manage my time. I have to make sure that I get all my work done but still have extra time for me and a social life. The second goal that I plan to set for myself is to get involved here on campus. During orientation everyone kept saying how important it is to get involved with activities and clubs. So I plan on joining The Organization of Latin American Students (OLAS). This group gives latin american students a chance to make their voices heard. I'm sure there will more more clubs that I will be interested in joining. Furthermore, I just want to have the best first college experience. I want to take myself outside of my comfort zone when it comes to doing my work and meeting new people. As I continue to go into my second week of classes I have to remember that this isn't high school anymore. My professors will not be on top of me making sure that I get all my work done. I have to make sure that I read my syllabus for every class everyday because there is always an assignment that has to be done. As hard and overwhelming everything may seem, I just have to learn how to adjust to my new environment. Living on my own in college will be a learning experience for me and a place for my to grow. I will grow as an adult and a college student. My journey here at SCSU is just getting started.
