Journal 3: Next Steps
The Community Service Project definitely encouraged me to embrace communication. My biggest support center was probably right within that FRO Seminar Room. There are plenty of places I learned about like the Starr Center or the Library that will definitely prove useful in the future, but I still have not utilized them. Most of the help I received, for this project, and for any other issues I had came directly from the LC. We were all confused together, until someone was able to untangle a mess or pull through. I’ve realized that sometimes you will be that person and sometimes you will not. It’ll be a push and pull process, but asking for help and providing help is a big part of it.
What will I be doing in three years? Who knows?! I love to make plans and stick to them, but three years is too far. I don’t know what my interest will have evolved into. I don’t know how my values will have changed. An obvious long-term goal would be to be on track for graduation. But if three years have passed from this point, I hope to do a lot more than just graduate. There is study abroad, and internships, campus events that I have been lax in participating in. Having typed that, I also need to remind myself there are tests to take, projects to complete, and always, always sleep to catch up on.
