English class for today.

Today for class we were told to go to the English conferences in the sub. I though well I guess I should go I didn’t want to go and keep pushing it off. Telling myself oh well it is all day, 9-4 so I can go when ever. When it hit 150 I was like well let’s get this over with. I walked over to the sub and to my surprise there were a lot of people there. I looked over the list of presentations that would be taking place during the next session and I found one called Memoirs with three presenters. I decided to go into this one and see what the people had to say; to my surprise I enjoyed it quite a bit. My favorite presentation was by Jasmine Hunt called “A trip down memory lane to KU”. I connected with her piece the most because she is a freshman and also went through summer start like I did. One thing that really stuck out for me was when she talked about getting the acceptance letter and being so happy. Until she read the line saying that she needed to go to summer start before being allowed to start in the fall. There was one week in the way of her future. Her stomach dropped just like mine did when I read my letter. She thought about it and everything was lying in that week at KU where you took the summer start class. After she got through that week she knew she was in and was able to be happy to be coming to KU. She was so scared but excited to go to the summer start though. This was one of the first times she got to be on her own and feel the freedom of collage. This is when she saw that she was ready for school. This is just how I felt I knew since I started my senior year of night school that I was ready to be out on my own and start collage but there was the little thing in the back of my head telling me can I really do it all on my own. Can I make it? After seeing myself away for the one week and see that I could really do this all on my own, I couldn’t wait to start in the fall with classes. As the school years coming to an end I am not sure how much I am going to like moving back into my house and not being on my own making my own decisions. It’s going to be another change that we have to go through as we grow up. Only the future can tell what will come out of things.
