Finally, I can see an end to a long but pretty great school year. We only have four more days of classes and then exams began. I've already began studying for those. As the end of the semester draws near, we're preparing for the opening of our new convocation center. Be sure to check out the website for we've added shows such as Omarion and Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. Also, we have tons of award programs going on, and we're looking forward to the renovations of the Student Activities Center and the new housing facility being built. We are also raising money to go towards the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund in memory and honor of the students that lost their lives in the tragic Virginia Tech event that occured. We, the institutions of higher educations, were all affected in this event and send out our love and support to our fellow institution.
If I look back on this school year, I can say that its probably been my best so far. I've worked really hard to keep my grades up, be a dedicated student worker, and be involved and devoted to helping as much as possible. And believe me, It has definitely paid off. I hope that you guys got a good idea of what things are like for a student at USCA. I really love being apart of my USCA family and the things that I've learned here will definitely have a lasting impression on my life. I look forward to my senior year here because I know it will be a rewarding experience as well. So my final thought to you all is a quote by Maya Angelou which states "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back."
