A new semester brings new opportunities and achievements.
Although it is bitter sweet, I am excited to be finishing up my final semester
here at Stout. This year will be filled with many accomplishments as I will be
graduating from my graphic design degree in May and will be graduating from art
education in December. Even though I have been here for five years, it does not
seem like it. I have learned so much and have grown so much as a person, and it
isn’t until I look back at my journey here at Stout that a realize this growth.
I would be lying if I said I was not nervous to graduate, but it is a necessary
step to start my career. My parents have always taught me to work hard for what
you want, to follow your dreams and that nothing was impossible if you put your
mind to it. I think all of the advice has finally paid off as I am looking
forward to the feeling of ultimate success and satisfaction of being the first
person in my family to graduate from college. Although my days are numbered, I hope
I can continue to grow and mature as a designer, educator and person in this
new semester.
