How I Got Here & Where I’m Going
The first seventeen years of my life were, in a word, exhausting. As far back as I can remember, I was always your classic, well-rounded overachiever. I did ballet, math team, pit orchestra, science research, honors societies, you name it. I was always up late studying, rushing from activity to activity after school, and fighting my counselors to let me take more and more AP classes. Nobody ever told me to do all this. Least of all my parents, who were usually worrying that I needed to dial it back. I just knew that I was driven my this intense desire to do two things: get out of Florida, and get into a top college.
Why? I couldn’t have told you.
What did I want to do with my life? I had absolutely no idea.
Luckily for me, things didn’t go quite according to plan. It’s true that when I first moved into my dorm in Juniper Hall to start my freshman year at USF, I wasn’t all that happy to be here. But over time, the people I met, the friendships I found, and the memories I made showed me that there’s so much more to life than filling up your resume to impress an Ivy League school.
In those first few years, I finally began to take a step back and breathe. I took classes that interested me and expanded my perspective. I took a job teaching test prep classes and found a confidence in myself that I’d never developed as just a student. I took trips with my friends, saw the country, and had tons of fun. But most importantly, I took the time - for the first time in my life - to figure out what it was that I actually wanted to do.
Now I’m in my last semester of college, and I’ll be starting law school (most likely at UPenn) in the fall. Law school isn’t something my high-school self would’ve ever imagined in my future, and without the experiences I’ve had at USF, I don’t know if I would’ve ever found that path.
So, I got here confused, disappointed, and aimless, but I’m leaving focused, driven, and ready for a new challenge. I can’t wait to start law school, but I’m incredibly grateful for the time I’ve had here at USF, and I know that it’s prepared me for what’s ahead.
