college

Hello people from wherever!

So I have good news! After being graduated from high school for nearly 2 years I've finally found my way to a college lol. I've been officially "admitted" to UVSC. Or should I say UVU...Apparantly I was accepted way back in December but I guess they decided to never tell me until I called about it just barely. But thats okay because I'm not actually taking classes until July so...

I also decided to switch my major. My original major was Law Enforcement. I remember wanting to be a police officer when I was a little kid because I used to watch COPS on TV and I thought it was like the coolest thing to be able to get a car and a gun and handcuffs...but that novelty kinda wore off as I started hearing about what a police officer goes through mentally and physically and what they see and how many different situations they have to react to. It would be so draining I really don't even know if I could handle that kind of pressure. So then I wanted to go into youth corrections or something along those lines because I love the idea of helping kids that are in trouble and I like the thought of being an example and making a difference in someones life. But there has always been a career that I've kept in the back of my mind that I've always thought would be REALLY cool and that is to just be a regular high school teacher, and I think it sounds perfect. It's not a job thats going to make me rich, and its not the "sexiest" sounding job out there but to me its a very respectable job and the best part is I would still get to help kids and hopefully make a positive impact in their lives.

So I'm going into Secondary Education with an emphasis in History or maybe possibly English. I'm not entirely sure but I have like at least a year before I really have to decide. History and English were definitely my favorite core subjects. I feel like history gets overlooked a lot and you can always learn something from the past that will help you in the present and English is just so wonderful how it can be used to produce something inspiring and beautiful. (Also I think I'm not smart enough to teach math or biology or something like that but don't tell anyone) I will have a minor in Physical Fitness so that I could say that I can teach PE as well and hopefully I can become a high school coach because that would be awesome-(another job that deals with helping kids reach their potential)

So yeah I was pretty stoked when I found out. Until I went to meet with my academic advisor and I swear she gave me like 15 classes I had to complete. And I was like whoa...then I realized the next four years of my life are going to be pretty jammed with school haha. And I almost cried...lol jk. I'm actually really excited. I'm very worried about financial aid..I finished filling it out and at the end it said I was unlikely to get any money which was just what I wanted to hear let me tell you...I almost cried again...haha so if anyone has a rich uncle or maybe a scholarship that they don't need go ahead and send it my way :) I will send good karma back your way. I sure hope I don't have to take out thousands of dollars worth of student loans...that would just make me dread my graduation day when I have to start paying it all back. GAHHH BAHH...I dunno what Im going to do about that...but I feel like I should get to college and I guess it will work somehow. Anyways thats all for now.
