University was intimidating on day one. There was confusion about where to go and what to do. There was excitement and nervousness. Everyone struggled to find their footing in this new environment. The journey could be successful with a bit of courage.
As I began my journey, I was determined and perseverant. As the day progressed, they faced challenges and obstacles, but they kept pushing through my fears and doubts. They learned to rely on each other and work together to overcome any obstacle that came up.
Everyone was determined to make the journey a success.
Getting used to different time tables was daunting, and the early morning wake up call was hard to get used to. I had to get my little dog Maisie settled in as well. She is only 13 months old, and she is an ESA 'Emotional Support Animal'. After years of abuse in the education circuit, my nerves were very high, and Maisie helped calm me down.
But now after all the years of struggle, I am now at one of the most national leading conservitoire's in the world.
