Time Goes By...So Fast?

Damn, the clock is ticking at such a speedy pace. The summer is almost over; a successful summer at that. Next week is my last session for summer orientation and it's kind of sad, but rewarding at the same time. Who would have thought that these weeks would fly by? It seems like just a minute ago I was meeting my co-workers/friends for the first time. It's funny to see how we became so close over two months by doing what we wanted to do the most; setting an example for the students that are coming in for Fall Semester.

All of my students loved me...hey, I can't ignore that. I mean really, I wanted to inspire them and show them the magic of college, and through that they developed a love for not only the college, but for me as a person they can look up to for anything during the year. Sometimes it brings a little tear to my eye; a tear of joy and fulfillment. Knowing that I helped mold the minds of future leaders makes my job even better.

So I'm not sure if I'm ready to end next week. I know I will see my students in August, but nonetheless I miss every single one of them.

Stay with me one more song

Until my body's melting away, away, away"

It's been awhile since I've written a blog...wow that's really not good actually lol. But I guess this is the time to update on what is going on in my life at the current moment. So much to be said, so I'll try to fit in my last month of activity.

So as we all know, I am an Orientation Leader at my school. Yeah, yeah, it sounds pretty cheesy, but no one really knows how much of an enlightening experience it is to have this job. The whole month of June, I had connected with my fellow OL's on such deep levels; many new friendships were made, and the new friendships made were made stronger. What really made the job worthwhile (so far) was this past week's session. My students--even students that were not in my group--were simply amazing. It's such a blessing of whatever higher powers there may be to see the next generation coming to college and becoming adults. As I led them around and had late night talks with them, it reminded me of when I was in their exact position but only a year ago. Wow...time flies...

On a different note, things are going great with my love. He's every and anything I could ever ask for in a significant other, and I'm grateful for that. That is all on that subject lol no need to get too too deep (not to mention I'm a tad tired).

Well, tomorrow I go back for the next session. I can only hope that my next group and the next set of students are just as inspiring as the students I've experienced. Man, I can't wait for next semester...
