Time changes so quickly, and so do we. I think we have all noticed that in the short four months we have come to know each other. After receiving my acceptance letter to Grand View, I learned about LOGOs. At first glance, it just seemed like a lot of work and reading. Many upperclassmen warned me of the critical thinking and countless papers that would be formed during this course. However, I was still up for the challenge.

It was something I had dreamed about for so long, but as the semester quickly passed by, I knew I wasn’t happy. I took this opportunity to be honest with myself. My honesty has now brought me into a new career path that already makes me so much happier. As I look into the future, I know a career in Social Work or Criminal Justice will bring me more happiness than the Biology path I was told to follow. A simple choice to no longer let others make decisions for me changed everything, and I couldn’t be happier. I hope each of my classmates makes an honest decision for themselves at some point in
