Let’s talk about my first day of
college ever. I went to the local community college, Palomar College (UCP!) The year was 2006 on a nice summer/fall Monday morning of September…or
was it August? Anyways, my first class was softball practice at 10:00 am. I
probably left at 8:45, thinking 1 hour and 15 minutes should plenty time to
drive the 25 mile distance, and it was. I remember arriving with 30 minutes to
spare but ran into trouble when I pulled into the parking lot…and couldn't find
an open spot to save my life. After spending an hour going through all of the
lots, I finally found an open space! But now I was at least 30 minutes late to
class. I struggled to decide if I should go to class or not and after crying to
2 of my best friends over the phone and talking to my dad, I decided not to go.
Yep, I did not go to my first class of my college career. Instead I went to the
retired softball coach’s office to talk to him about missing class since I knew
him personally and was the reason I had decided to go to Palomar and play ball.
He told me the new coach was chill and to just talk to her about what happened and
she’ll understand. At that very moment, the new coach had stepped into retired
coaches office to talk about her first day and there I was, the chick that didn't go to practice. I had to explain myself and she understood…but I had to pay for
it and run sprints the following day.
Fast forward 7 years, I graduated from California State University, San Marcos with a Bachelors of Arts in Liberal
Studies with a depth of study in Arts & Education on May 18,2013!

I seriously couldn't have done
this without the support of my parents, family, friends, and work. It’s been a long
time coming, but I finally did it!
I've still got a few classes,
tests, and credential program to get through until I’m fully legit to become a
teacher so here’s to the next 3 years!
