My first semester in collage has been a
bumpy road. I made mistakes and I learned from them. I appreciate the
help I have been given from my friends, family, teachers, mentors,
and loved ones. I realized for this multi-media assignment that I
wanted to give everyone a piece of what I have been experiencing.
First of all are my responsibilities, and my friends who matter
dearly to me.
These are my two new roommates, Miranda pictured on top and Alanna on bottom, and our lovely home under them. They are the thing that I come home to every night and who I consider family. For my first few months being out on my own these two girls talked me through it. We helped each other and talked for hours on end. Im so glad that I have them in my life because I consider friendship to be a large component in happiness. We live in this big old house together, freak each other out with scary movies, laugh about life and plan huge road trips. Im so glad I have them.
Secondly I discovered a new passion in my life at the junior college native american museum. I understand now that by looking at centuries old artifacts made me learn more about the culture of the tribe people that once owned them than reading about them in a textbook. I have to thank my professor Mrs. Theresa Molino for taking a chance on a 'freshman' who was eager to learn. Although I am Native American, I also learned about the Latino american tradition of Dia Los Muertos, and helped them set up a large event for the museum. I feel proud of my efforts there and I am happy with my choice of helping out. Below is the display in the museum I took.
My efforts also went into my responsibilities as a worker this semester. My first essay for English 1A was about how hard it was getting a job in Santa Rosa with the rest of the unemployed competition I have bitten my tongue now because little did I know that less than a month after applying for many different jobs, I had been lucky enough to get two. My job at Chevy's has used and improved my ability to multi-task, and I am proud to say I work for their corporation. This picture below is a picture of me in my uniform. All rights reserved to the Chevy's corporation, except my face.
My second job is a this little candy shop downtown, called Sweet tooth and unfortunately, I don't have a photo of it, but I love it there anyway.
All in all, I feel pretty lucky to have been given what I have. I hope I keep learning and growing at the junior college and in my life.
Great post, I wish you had shared with us about the display at the museum, I would have loved to have seen that! Perhaps I will run into you at Chevy's though, we go there once in a while. Fun place. Glad to know you landed not one but two jobs--congrats to you, that can be hard to do!
