“Farewell Howard, You Were
Good To Me”
By Terrence Cain
Indeed, it is true that all good things must come to an
end. The grades are in, and I have passed all five of my classes with
flying colors. Over the last two and half years I have learned so
much and met some very interesting and nice people. I've learned a
lot about myself and what I need to do to better myself and I feel
like I truly accomplished something great. Over the last couple of
years I have had some extremely low points and some exceptionally
high ones. I'm very proud of my accomplishments and I'm very happy to
be the first in my family to have a college degree. Come January I
will be moving on to Angelo State University to get my bachelors
degree in journalism.
I am very excited to be going to Angelo State in January
because I'll be taking a film editing and media law class, plus a
French language class split into two sections over my first semester
there. I'll also be living on campus for the first time as well. I
also plan to take action and get involved in writing for the Angelo
State newspaper and working the radio station there if I have the
time as well. I'm going to be extremely busy at Angelo State, that's
for sure. I will miss Howard College, but I know that I have to move
on so this is where I will conclude that my time has come to an end.
I wish to thank former sociology professor, Adrian
Calvio, for encouraging me to come and write for Howard College. I
also wish to thank my editor, Cindy Smith, for allowing me to write
for the Howard College blog site here in Big Spring. I know I haven't
always been the easiest to work with, but I know I've become a better
person thanks to her. I also wish to thank professors like Amber
Buske for pushing me so hard and encouraging me to keep moving
forward all those times I wanted to just give up. It wasn't always
easy to get my head wrapped around every subject I took, but I did my
best and that's all I can say to anyone who wants to just give up.
Keep working hard, keep trying even after you fail, and you'll
eventually make it out on the other side a wiser person for the
experiences you took upon yourself. If someone like me, who isn' all
that intellectual when it comes to subjects like math, can pass it
then so can you. This is my official sign-off as Howard College's
blogging machine. May you all live long and prosper.
