Day One - Success!

Hi everyone, my name is Tiffany and I am very excited about this opportunity! I'm majoring in journalism, hoping to transfer to UT Austin for my Bachelors and possibly a Masters. Today was my first chance to assist with orientation; all the new incoming students reminded me why the college journey is more than just academics, but also a rare chance to broaden our horizons past where we have been, inspiring us to work diligently towards our goals and expand our personal knowledge of ourselves and the world around us.

I took some time after high school (approximately four years) to experience the "real world," and I can honestly say that I have reached new heights in personal discovery within the mere two summer semesters I have attended than I had in the time I dwindled away between then and now. I hope I can assist other students in doing the same, the ultimate goal being to help these students integrate to college with as much ease as possible.

Today was great; the many new faces and intellectual minds ready to learn and interact with their fellow students amongst campus was not only reassuring to myself but hopefully my future classmates as well.

The Beginning!

Bianca is my name and first of all I would like to thank God for this opportunity.I'm actually really excited, I'm expecting to meet alot of people. I hope to gain the skill to successfully speak to people. I'm not 100% sure what im going to do exactly but, I am wishing for the best. When i first heard about this program i knew it was meant for me. Im glad that i can get more financial assistance by doing what I love. Which is helping people and working hard for what i have. This is a new experience and I'm not scared to step up to the plate and take on new challenges!! Wish me luck and pray for me. I know i will need prayer, we all need it every once and a while.

Summertime and the Semester to come

Well hi there!!! My name is Taylor and I will be part of your entertainment on this web page. I am still figuring out how this whole blogging thing is going to work, so that might take a little time. But I'm very excited about this semester. There is always something exciting about going back to school in the fall. Maybe its the new faces, everybody with that lost,"Which way is my class?" look in their eyes. Maybe its just coming back after a long break, and despite work getting to relax just a little bit more than usual for a few months. Whatever it may be, I have no doubts that you students just starting will have a very different experience than that of either the work place or high school. Hopefully in a good way. Its harder, more stressful, but so much more rewarding. Alright well thats all I got for my first post...I leave you with one of my favorite summer songs by one of my favorite bands, because it still is summer, the break isn't over yet!!!
