It is October and already the 8th week in the semester here in Tucson, AZ at The University of Arizona. I met with my advisor recently and talked about the Spring semester and graduation. Did I just say graduation? I cannot believe three years ago I started my journey at the U of A and now I am slowing preparing to leave the university to start my future in the real world. It is hard to believe that my advisor told me you will be part of the two graduation ceremonies which will be my college, the Social and Behavioral Sciences and the U of A class of 2019 ceremony. I can say that I have accomplished all my goals at the University by spring. The next goal I would like to accomplish is to get an entry-level job in the Public Relations field. It is hard to plan the future because we don't know our futures but it is exciting to think about because it is the beginning of a new journey and a brand new transition from college. College and my professors have taught me amazing things in their classes that I would have not known. I do think that Ph.D.'s and instructors make an impact on student's lives because they give you the freedom to explore your interests.

The advice I give to the students who are younger than me like the freshman is to study hard, never give up, and to follow your dreams because it is important to follow your dreams in college even though if you are still in the process of getting your degree. It is okay if you do not know what you want to do yet in your future. I did not know what I wanted to do career-wise until my junior year. My senior advice to freshman would be to stay strong and to enjoy your college career because four years go by fast. We all have our dream jobs and careers we want to go into but how would we get there without going through challenges and struggles in college? I think that going through challenges and struggles in college is the best way to grow. I recommend to the freshman audience to be open and to be involved as much as possible because it will help yourself and your future once you reach to senior year and to apply to jobs. The best way to get to know people at the university is to be involved and to get to know your professors! I have made tons of connections with my professors in E-Society and they are the nicest people. I had three professors I had in the past write letters of recommendation for me for Study Abroad and I will continue doing that for jobs. In conclusion, I have developed and made my own story at the University of Arizona. Now it is time for you to make your own story. How will you make a difference and positive impact at the U of A?
