My Heart's Confessions lol

Since the beginning of summer I was somewhat nervous about going away to college.  Not that I would miss my high school very much, but I was just a little scared about stepping out of my comfort zone and taking my first strides towards freedom.   Coming from a very small town, I worried  about my seriously slacking driving skills.  Everything seemed so big and fast-paced here (well in Jackson)  that I was not sure if I could keep up.  I worried about meeting new people and making friends.  I wondered if it would be as easy as every one said and if the catalogs were only meant to give freshmen like me a false sense of hope.  

However, after the first few hours here I could not have been more wrong.  Welcome week was actually very fun and even the rain the rain did not dampen our spirits.  My leaders, Anna and Ebone were amazing and they tried to find ways to make us feel at home and to truly enjoy the MC experience.   At the coke float party, I was able to come up with my very own sPEciaL concoction of vanilla and chocolate ice cream submerged in the incredibly delicious Barq's root beer.  Despite the sound of it, it was cleverly amazing.  Look out Rachel Ray! ha

From being at MC for nearly five weeks now, I see that my anxieties could not have been more mistaken.  The people here, students and faculty alike have been extremely pleasant, enthusiastic, and so caring that I actually feel at home.  I have made so many wonderful friends and lasting memories already.  My driving, though still not perfect, has somewhat improved ( I think) and things are looking up for the better.  I can attest to the MC motto of finding "faith, hope, and family" because I have found it all at MC.
