One Small Step, One Giant Leap

This past November I took a small step in my life.  I applied to community college.  I had decided to try to pursue one of the biggest goal I let slip by.... A degree.  For those who don't know me personally, I did not complete my college career.  Now is my time to shine.

I really want to help people.  When I first went to college, I spent my whole first year trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up.  Well I'm grown up now and I have realized that I want to help people.  I want to become a counselor and eventually a psychologist.

I know its a little late in life for this decision.  But hey, such is life.  If you can't chase your dreams at any age, what's the point?

I applied on a whim thinking "Oh this is easy!  I'll apply for the Summer 2019 semester, that way I can save up money for the cheaper college credit!  This will be fun."  I filled out the application, got my 15 year old high school transcripts transferred, etc.

Now the hard part starts.  I have to schedule placement tests.  Yes, placement tests.  If you don't know, like me, ACT, SAT and AP test scores are only good for 5 years.  I wish someone would have told me that I don't know, about 15 years ago.  Maybe that would have saved my happy butt a lot of time.  Okay so placement tests.  I have went to college prep websites.  Guys, these tests are hard with a capital H.

I breezed through some English tests recently and did horribly.  I really need a refresher on this life stuff. I can pull off a mean customer service question, but as me about sentence structure and I'm stumped.  I have yet to call and schedule said tests, partly because I'm afraid to fail.

Ladies (and gents if you're reading) this is a small step towards the giant leap of life.  Be cool, stay in school!  Stay tuned all!
