Growing Up

I went to lunch yesterday with Priscilla, the adviser for the Asian American Association. She has known me since my freshman year when I honestly was a very confused and lost freshmen. She remembers how I used to not know what to do since I had just switched from Engineering to Business. I also didn't have much because I didn't know anyone. But now, she has really come to respect all I have done. It meant a lot for her to say that to me and to hold me in high regard. I haven't really done much for the club lately except for Asian Allure, but I mean it just is good to know that I can still be appreciated sometimes. Priscilla thought that I have grown up so much in the past three years.

You know I look at myself and I know that I have grown up a lot. I look back at high school and remember that I was kind of an awkward kid. Especially if you go back earlier than that. So much has changed and it's not just because of the recent things that have happened but just all the circumstances in my life.

You know sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I would have stayed closer to home for college. Would I still be the same person as I am right now? I don't think I would be, I think the people that are around you really shape who you are.

I might be saying nowadays that I really want to get out of college already and start working to earn money, but you know, I think that college was an essential part that really got me to grow up and learn about the world around me. I know I'm not by all means perfect, but I think I have learned a lot and have matured.

I've seen so many different personalities here and I've seen some that have changed drastically through the years. I've had the chance to take different paths. It's an interesting journey that I have taken but I don't think I would change anything to be honest.

I have a great girlfirend that I love very much.
I have a loving family that will always be there for me.
I have great friends that always support me.
I have a good job that I'm looking forward to.
I go to a great school.

I'm not sure if this blog even made that much sense because I'm pretty tired but maybe in a few days I can sharpen what I really want to say.
