My name is Jacqueline, and I am a student here at South Suburban College. I began attending in 2007, but in spring of 2010 I needed time to reevaluate what I truly wanted in my life. During this time, my mind would constantly remind me how I should have decided my future already, and I found myself thinking “do I really need to be in college?” The spring of 2015 was the year that would start the transformation I was in need of. My older sister, now a graduate of SSC, told me that I needed to stop being childish and get back out there, even if it was for just one class.

Since returning, I have been working toward my associate’s degree in Psychology, and the rest is falling into place. The dedication and hard work I have been putting forward was the last ingredient I was missing. Let it be known, it is always better late than never. I owe my recent success to her, and if she does happen to be reading this, thank you for the push and your continued support.

In the upcoming weeks, I am looking forward to sharing my journey here at South Suburban College with readers. From why I decided to start here, right down to the opportunities I have. This blog will hopefully give insight to events or even answer small questions that have been on your mind too. Hope you enjoyed it, and maybe you will see me around campus.
