I graduated from Santa Ana College on June 5th. My degree is in Liberal Arts, because I could never choose just one thing! 4.0 GPA. Never thought this would be me.
I went back to school in 2006 (you realize it is now 2015) to take a metalsmithing class for jewelry making. I had researched which colleges in California had such a program and Santa Ana College was one of the few. I figured I'd take a few classes, maybe get a certificate in jewelry making. When I applied, the jewelry making class was already full, so I took a Survey of Humanities class, which was mostly online but had several class meetings to take the tests. I was HOOKED. I fell in love with Santa Ana College--the campus, the staff, the students. I passed no less than five schools on my drive down there. But that didn't matter. Here I am, nearly nine years later, preparing to move into the next phase and get my Bachelor's degree in Applied Management (sort of like Organizational Leadership). I eventually took that metalsmithing class and learned a lot. Then they cancelled the jewelry program.
After the ceremony, Jack, my mom and our friend, Pat went out to dinner.
Pretty fun to celebrate.
I am giving myself four years to complete the B.S. See you in 2019!
