A New Beginning
College! Yes I am here! I can’t believe that I have made it to college! I am so glad to be out of the house and to be on my own. I am scared. I don’t like seeing new faces and going to events alone without anyone. I want to go home! The first events went well, not the best being alone. I have said almost 20 words at every event. My Pack Team thinks that I don’t talk at all! I like to talk I am just scared out of my mind. I don’t know anyone. I just want “My Mommy.”
2nd thoughts: I want to be back at home! I am not sure what God was thinking. Why am I here? What is the point of me going here? I want to know why I am here, and what God is doing in my life. I am at the point where I’m mad at God. I can’t believe that He would put me here all alone! I want to know what I have done to him that I have to be alone! I am at the point where I am ready to pack up and leave! Now I want to kick myself in the face for being dumb and thinking that! I know that God has a plan for me. I know that He put me here all alone at SMC for a reason! I think now that it is just time for me to sit back and just run the race as he has set for me and not try and take over! "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
After some days
These days have been the best of my life! College has been great! College is what I thought it would be and more. It has been great being able to get out of my box and talk to people. I love going to SMC. It is great not having to be at a HUGE college and having to worry about trying to get into people's groups! I love seeing the same people at every event and not new people every five seconds. The upperclassmen are nice; I have one as a roommate! Not really knowing anything about the campus, the teacher, and the good places to eat in town, he w
ill give the scoop. I know now that I have found family at SMC! I have found HOME! Everyone is caring and fun to be around
Classes!
I don’t know what to think about classes at this point. It is just a little to early to tell. I have been out of school for how long now? Over 2 months? I don’t want to be in class. I want to go back to the first week of school! I want to be back at the BLOCK PARTY, better yet I would rather be doing my freshman day of service project, What I wasn’t looking forward to it at all turned out to be a great day! I want to go back in time to that day! After being inside a classroom here for a week it has been great! I’m able to talk to my teacher one on one, go by their office, or email them! I love not being a number here! I am a student. I am a student with a voice! I know that my teachers don’t just know me by my student ID number; they remember my face, and my name!
PACK TEAM!
As a freshman we have to take SMC 101. All schools have classes like this for their freshman. I didn’t want to take this class at all! I was dumb for thinking that! I know the b est people now! My pack team is my favorite class ever! “ACTION PACK” I hate that we only m eet one time every Monday! My Student Ambassador, Al, has made me feel very comfortable in the change from high school/being at home to college. I play tennis every night now, with people from my pack team!
Cant wait!
I can’t wait to see what God has planned for me! I think that this beginning has changed me so much in many ways! I know what it feels like to be alone and to think I have no one! If you have any question just ask me! Hunterbt@student.smcsc.edu
