Hello Bloggers,
Those of you that have been following my blog over these past few years have read many posts about me being in college and changing my major and blah blah blah. Well I'm here to tell you that I am in my final year the the University of Tulsa. 6 years later and six different major changes I have finally done it!
I think back on all the good times and all the bad times I had in college and I'm happy to say that I don't have a single regret. I know I changed my major a lot and didn't care about school and honestly I think it was because I wasn't ready to go out in to the world and be a big kid. It scares me to think that soon I will be out of school, I'll be getting a job and paying bills and have to live my life as a grown up. I have been in school since I was 5 years old. It's what I am used too.
This blog post isn't just a repeat about my time in school, but more so about the people in my life that never gave up on me. There have been a lot of people who have helped me throughout my years of school but the ones who really helped me were members of my family.
My parents are my biggest supporters. They have stuck by me through it all. They may not have liked all the decisions that I have made throughout the years; however they have supported me through the good and the bad. There were plenty of times that I wanted to give up and quit but they never let me. I would get into fights with them and tell them that school was dumb and there was no need for me to finish. What did it matter if I had a degree or not. Most people don't get jobs that have anything to do with their degrees. Well I'm glad they never let me give up. In May I will be getting a degree in Psychology from the University of Tulsa and I couldn't be happier.
Another person who has been a big supporter is my Aunt Barbra. She has helped me with many projects and papers and without her I would not have made it through. I struggle with many things in school and she has given me enough help and confidence so that I can finish. When we get together to work on a project or have her proof read a paper she doesn't criticize me or put me down. She supports me and shows me what I did wrong and how to correct it for the future. Barbra and I have this relationship that others wont understand. A few years ago I went up to visit Barbra in Spokane and not a day goes by that don't think about those couple of weeks we were together and all the memories we have. I'm the luckiest to have her in my life.
My Aunt Karen and Uncle Allen are up on the list as well. They have been through so much with me over the years and I couldn't imagine my life without them. They are the ones I can call at anytime of the day or night and they will be there to listen, to tell me everything is going to be okay, to sit there and let me cry because I'm ready to give up on everything. I enjoy sitting down with my uncle and talking about school. He's never told me I couldn't anything. He supports me so much. Even when I'm down about a hard class he just tells me to do the best I can and whatever happens, is meant to be. He constantly tells me to keep my head up and to continue working hard and eventually I will succeed.
My cousin Jessica and Kyle. There were many nights I would be over at their house working on homework and I would get so frustrated that I didn't want to continue. They told me that its hard but that I would get there and finish. They have both helped me in so many ways. Not only with school but with life. When I tell them I need to talk and vent they are there to listen. They don't judge me or tell me the things I do are wrong. They support me.
I am only naming a few who have really pushed me over the years but my whole family has supported me. I know come May my family will all be there to support me at Graduation and knowing that means more to me then anything.
That's what families are all about. Support, Trust, Love. My family is big and goofy. But they are my family and I wouldn't want them to be anything then what they are. I love that on holidays and family dinners we can sit around for hours and tell stories, have dance parties, make music videos and laugh. I can sit back at a family dinner at my yiayia's house and just watch everyone and inside I know that I am so lucky to be a part of this wonderful family.
I love my family more then anything in the world. I would not be who I am or where I am today if it wasn't for all of them.
This picture was taken on our first family trip to Mexico. It's from a long time ago but it's one of my favorite pictures. :-)
