Observation 2

I was able to sit down and talk with Stephany Lopez, an elementary education major. She told me about some of the struggles that come with being a senior, especially being one that is a very involved commuter. She told me that the hardest thing about being a senior is getting all of your work done and credits in on time so that you dont have to add on another semester. She continued on to say that if she could have done anything different it would be to have been more organization in the beginning and trying to focucs earlier on grades and time managment. I asked her if she ever had any 2nd guesses as to what she wants to do or if she believes that she may not want the career that she is going into. She said that last semester she did but now shes a little more reassured that this is whats right for her. And if things dont work out she can alwys come back t school and there is nothing wrong with that.
The thing that stuck out the most to me is how she answered the next question. I asked her how she is able to manage being a commuter, doing school work, being a member of the Delta Phi Epsilon Soroirty, work, and all the other aspects of her life. The answer that I got was one that was full of wisdom and confidence. She said that "its just taking it one thing at a time, and a day at a time and realize what is more important that day." Its like the saying that you have to crawl before you walk, you can only do one thing at a time. It is something that I think we all need to keep in mind from time to time.
The answers that I got tonight were a mixed bag of what I expected to get. I expected to hear that theres going to be hesitation and second guessing at times. But the answer to the last question has really stuck with me because it is so easy to apply to any situation.
