I Graduated With Honors and My Associate's Degree! Now What?

The author, wearing her graduation regalia.

May 3 was a very special day for me. City Colleges  played a role in my academic career, whether it's admitted by the students or not.  They allowed me to work there as a work study student, I had the opportunity to gain some experience with the student-run newspaper, and I got an opportunity to participate in other school activities when time was available to me. My friend even got me involved with the honors society at my school.  I graduated with honors as an officer of the Nu Lambda Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (thanks, Gayle!), and I participated on the school's newspaper to gain experience in writing for a printed news publication.

My summer is shaping up to look like this: working at the day care center, freelance photography, updating my resume, joining the alumni association, attending more street festivals, mastering social media, learning about freelance writing, hopefully another job as a photo apprentice, and apartment-hunting.

The big question remains: which school am I going to transfer to and earn my Bachelor's degree in Journalism?  This blogger is ready to take on the world and use the power of words to change someone's life, one human being at a time.
