London saw snow that it hasn’t seen in about 10 years! I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and I have to say that I took the sunny weather for granted. I handled it well and stayed nice and bundled up. I guess I’m writing about this because I wasn’t really expecting to see this level of snow during my time here. It made me think about what I’ll do after graduation in one year. I think in this blog I’ll talk about what being in London has made me realize and how I can reflect on where I’ve been and where I’ll end up going
Wow. I am graduating in Spring 2019. I can’t believe I’m within a year of my goal. I really wasn’t sure of how I’d get here and how I would finish. I just knew that I would. I started college courses in the Fall of 2011 at UCF and I was overwhelmed, had little direction and did not take it as seriously as I should have. That resulted in me eventually getting academically disqualified in 2015. That used to be so difficult to come to terms with and admit but now I wear that truth about myself on my sleeve. I’m not ashamed anymore. It just makes my story that much more triumphant. I’ve changed majors from Chemistry to Biomedical Sciences to Pre-Clinical Health Sciences to Computer Engineering and now finally to Computer Sciences at Rollins College. The Hamilton Holt School has given me a second chance at graduating with my bachelor’s degree and it’s meant the world to me. I’m a completely different student who cares about each assignment and professor interaction. It all holds tremendous value and I see that now.
Being in London has allowed me to network with people in the tech industry, study hard and learn great foundations in web development and digital audio as well as work on my physical fitness and comedy writing. If you’re reading this and thinking about studying abroad I have to suggest that you look no further than studying in London. It’s been a fantastic journey that’s allowed me to reflect and work on myself.
