Looking to the next chapter, but thankful for this one

As I begin to write this, I reflect on my past three years at Texas A&M University – Kingsville (TAMUK). I am so thankful for the friendships I’ve created, professors I’ve been mentored by and student organizations I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of.

The student media department has allowed me to explore areas of communication that I had no prior experience in and become a member of an amazing team of students! Leaving a campus that has felt like home is what makes goodbyes so difficult.

Deadlines to meet, articles to write, interviews to prepare for and campus news to report on are just some of the things I have been committed to the last two years and I have enjoyed every minute of it. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

I’ll take TAMUK and the memories with me wherever I go. Forever proud to be a Javelina! As my time at Javelina Nation is winding down I look forward to my next chapter in my life.

To all the brilliant and talented student workers who are taking over in our shoes (The South Texan, Javelina Broadcast Network and KTAI), cherish your time as it will go by in the blink of an eye.

In everything y’all accomplish while a student make sure it makes you happy, and boosts your resumé is just a plus. For those who are graduating in a few weeks I hope your upcoming goals and accomplishments big or small are nothing short of what you dreamed of as a child! Don’t forget your time at TAMUK but be bold in the pursuit of what makes you stand out in this world. As for my post-graduation plans, I’ll be leaving Kingsville to complete my master’s degree at Baylor University beginning in the fall. I’ll leave you with my favorite quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world”- Ghandi.
