You may all known that years have gone by since I have graduated. For those who didn't come to my graduation you missed out. It was a fun time to say good bye to teachers and class mates. I do miss high school because it was easier to know people.
I began my new journey at Oregon State University. I have to admit Freshman year sucked and it was hard. I felt like know one was there to help like I was on my own. The advisor tried helping, but it just made things more stressful. I didn't even know what I wanted to be, I know I wanted to work in the health field. My major then was Fitness and Nutrition.
I was commuting back and forth from Newport to Corvallis because I had a babysitting job and because of karate. I loved karate, especially teaching the kids. I felt like I was focusing more on karate then school, which was impacting my grades at school. I can admit I did poorly Freshman and sophmore year. I needed to take a stand.
I feel like sophomore year I was beginning to see myself and what I could handle. I knew I wanted to quit karate and move out of my mom's. Jacob moved out and began living with roommates, it was hard conmmuting back and forth to see him too. I hated living without him at my moms; even Boo missed him. I was also doing a partnership at Oregon Coast Community College to get my BAC classes through.
Over those month we realized doing the roommate thing was a horrible idea. The place was a mess, Jacob didn't get along with the others and I felt like they were a bad influence on his health. We needed out, I needed out of Newport. That summer after sophomore year was when I knew what to do.
It was hard telling my martial art instructor, he wanted me to run the school; but I just couldn't. It was hard leaving all those students, the reason why I even went to karate. It was a big step for Jacob and I, just the two of us paying rent. We found a cute place that has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. The hardest thing is living without Boo, because they don't allow pets and also no washer/dryer hook ups.
Before school started I knew what I want to do with my life; I changed my major to Child Devolpment (I still don't know if I want to be a psychologist or a teacher).
So far this year has been amazing, Jacob even helped me get a job here at Fredmeyer. I have been taking art classes too, it helps my anxieties and to improve my skills. I am taking a figurative drawing class, where I draw a live naked model I am really enjoying that class. Below is my art gallery of what I have done: photoshop, charcoal and graphite.
