As excited as I was to go to college I was also nervous. I started off at UNC Greensboro, which I loved, for Deaf Education, which I also love. I loved the school and all the great people that I met while I was there, I met some really great friends. From a mishap that my mom ex-husband had two and a half years later I moved back home to take care of my brother. I decided to go to UNC Charlotte. The great thing about UNC Charlotte was that my three bestest friends went there and I was able to room with one of them. I loved being there because I knew people and was close to home. I also loved getting to spend time with my besties that I had not seen since High School. Our last year together we got an on campus apartment and had some of the best times. I miss those times. I think that since then we have moved and lived with our sweeties :) I kept going to school even living in Waxhaw (45 minutes away) and having to travel. I kept telling myself I had to do it because I had gone this far. I had some awesome encouragement from many of the great people in my life.
So finally my student teaching... I forgot that I was even in school some days even though I was teaching. I loved doing it and knew that this is the reason that I was going to be graduating. I think that this last semester was the greatest because it really made me push to the extra limit. And then I did it... I graduated. I felt like I had gone to school for my whole life and I have only been out for 2 days but i feel like I should have a job and be doing the job. I knew that this was not going to happen, but in all due time I guess.

Ah, I miss those apartment days too! We had the best times! Woo Woo night especially! lol! Or just staying up late catching up on seasons of O.C. & Grey's Anatomy. We will always remember that year!
