“College will be the fastest 4 years of your life”. That’s as true as it gets. My college journey began in 2020 over zoom in the midst of the pandemic. As a first-generation college student, navigating this journey was full of highs and lows due to it all being so new to me. It seems like just yesterday I was a little 17 year old who did not know what she wanted to do with her life. Above I included a picture of me the summer before beginning college to present day me.
Now,I am almost at the midpoint of my SENIOR year here at UCLA studying what I love most, Psychology and Education. It sounds scary saying it out loud but at last it’s my turn. It is intimidating thinking about post-grad life, but what I’m most excited about is finally being able to enter the education field! The plan now is to take 2 gap years before starting a Master’s program, as well as getting my teaching credentials in hopes of teaching K-3. It brings me immense joy to think that I will soon be working with children and offering them the resources that I did not have in my schools/life growing up. Preparing for the real world is a bit intimidating but during these last couple of years, UCLA gifted me with an amazing circle of friendships <3 My biggest advice to those just beginning higher education: having a strong support system will make the journey a little less bumpy!!
