The Last Semester
With a fair share of obstacles I have finished the first semester of my last year at Southern Methodist University. It has been more than an ordinary college experience, but test of my resilience.
Being a product of the Dallas Independent School District, I am certainly grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend the prestigious university SMU. I have been lucky enough to have found ‘SMU’s Gem,’ as Katie put it, the Communication Studies Department. I feel confident in my area of study and I will be applying what I have learned very soon. I am hoping to get an internship in the Sports or Event Planning field.
I will be taking Summer I & II courses. I will also finally be able to play Co-ed Softball, as I have missed out on for a year due to my studies. I play catcher, and I am really excited. I also plan to attend a few boxing cards to network with some of Dallas’ coaches, promoters, and fighters. Opening more doors means I may have a chance at working for the major promotion companies.
Fall 2013 will be my last semester. Wow, that feels good to say. I think I might just say it again. Fall 2013 will be my last semester. If everything goes as planned I will only be enrolled in nine credit hours. All in all, I am so proud to be a Mutang, and I look forward to the challenges ahead.
