It's crazy to think that I started this blog three years ago in 2012 and how much I have grown since then. I remember sitting in my mentor's office working on my goals for the NUFP program and I thought that having a blog would be a good way to reflect on my journey to grad school. Three years have passed since and I have now stepped into my first professional role.
If it wasn't evident enough, the work that I did at FIU was something I fell in love with. I love being able to guide students through their college experience and there is just something about FIU that makes me feel like I am living the word "Opportunity." As a result, I accepted a position at FIU! YAY! This caught me off-guard and was not in my plans, but the opportunity came up and I knew I wasn't ready to leave.
So, I have actually moved to Miami now--investing in furniture, bills (gross), and even changing my address. It continues to be a transition since it's been about two months, but I know there's no place I'd rather be. While my professional journey has begun, I know there is a lot of growth that is happening (and will continue to happen) as I continue to get adjusted to my role. The only thing I can tell myself right now is to take it one day at a time.
