As my sophomore year in college has recently ended, I begin to reflect on the past school year and look forward to the next one that is approaching. My second year has definitely been a change from my first; without a doubt this past spring semester has been the hardest one yet. In the fall I decided to pledge a sorority, hold an SGA executive staff position, serve on multiple boards, become active among the Greek Community, attend different events on campus, all the while trying to stay committed to both of my scholarship programs and keeping my academics up. I then made the ‘wise’ decision to take 22 credit hours in the spring on top of everything else. However, it wasn’t all a disastrous year because by the grace of God I made it through the year successfully maintaining a GPA high enough to continue with both of my scholarships.
In a way I am thankful for having a pretty difficult year because I have learned tremendously about my convictions and myself. It also has made me even more excited about the upcoming year! I was recently named the Assistant Director of the University of Louisville Relay For Life, which is meaningful to me because I worked with that organization a lot when I was in high school; and benefiting the American Cancer Society is something that I am very passionate about. I have also applied for the International Service Learning Program to Cebu, Philippines. I am currently in the process of applying for different campus leadership programs. Needless to say, I am excited about all the possible opportunities this next semester holds for me with my extra-curricular activities and my career.
I am a rising junior majoring in Justice Administration. My career goal in life is to be the Director/Head of a state juvenile detention facility. Hence, it is around the time that I need to be involved in some sort of internship in my desired field. Conjointly I am in the course of calling different businesses to see what they have to offer. Hopefully I will find one that goes along with my career path. Just in case you still don’t quit understand why I am so ecstatic about this next school year let me sum things up for you: I will once again serve on the executive board for the UofL Relay For Life, I have the chance of being selected for the International Service learning Program, I am applying for different campus leadership positions, I will hopefully acquire an internship in my field of study, and did I mention I will be moving into a new house in Louisville? I can say without hesitation that I am truly blessed for everything that I have been through and all the things that are to come!
Forever More,
A.J.
