accomplishing the unthinkable
The day I walk across the stage to receive my diploma from Oklahoma State Universitywill be the proudest day of my life. Most people have the privilege of saying how their brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents graduated from OSU before them but I do not. Not only am I the first person in my family to go to OSU, I am the first person in my family to go to college at all. After high school, college just seemed like the next step. My parents had been fans of OSU athletics my entire life, and my best friend was coming to OSU so I decided that’s where I need to go. When I first began my Journey through college, I was merely waiting to fail. My first semester was horrible and I got threatened to move back home if I didn’t drastically improve my grades. Fortunately my grades improved, and the next year I decided to try out for the Cheer squad. I had never cheered a day in my life, but I had been tumbling every since I could remember. Cheerleading turned out to be my saving grace. To be active on the Cheerleading you had to maintain a certain GPA. Had I not become involved with cheerleading at OSU I would most definitely failed out of school. I started college just waiting to fail and today I’m one semester away from graduating with a double major, and as the captain of the Cheer Squad here at Oklahoma State. So to wrap it up I guess earning an OSU degree means accomplishing thing I couldn’t even thing of doing 5 short years ago. I could not have planned a better college experience, and I can say that I am very proud of myself.
