So here we are, on the cusp of graduation and I can’t help but to freak a bit. I mean I’m excited it’s such a great accomplishment but things get real, immediately after graduation. There are no grace periods, no do overs, and no guarantees. School has been my comfort zone and safety net this year. Not to mention it helped me regain a confidence in skills I never got to use in the meaningless, glass ceiling jobs I’ve had to get over the years to make ends meet. I don’t know if I’m ready to face the real world again. I’ve made myself so comfortable in school, my classmates are some of the best, most talented people I’ve ever met, each one of them has a special skill and such a passion for that skill, and for us all to have to go our separate ways is saddening.
Now, because I’m an optimist I can also look at the bright side to all this. In a few weeks I will have a Master’s degree in Entertainment Business from Full Sail University!! How great is that? I’m hopeful about the prospects of career opportunities that this school can open for me. I’m grateful I some how had the finances to go back to school. I’m thankful that my job was able to work around the ever-changing schedule that the program required. This year went by so quickly I almost wish I could do it over. Then I think about finance and law class and quickly change my mind.
So I just really want to thank my classmates and teachers and wish everyone the best in their endeavors. I look forward to seeing what everyone is going to accomplish in his or her pursuit of happiness. Well I’m going to finish up this degree and head off into the world of public relations wish me luck!
