So I got to thinking earlier, about how far I've come since I started the RCC photography program a year ago. I look around and see all these first year students, excited to find out what's ahead of them and I can't help but be a bit jealous! I, myself have grown so much both as a person and a photographer, but I am also blessed to be surrounded by such talented, inspiring, and encouraging people -- fellow students and instructors alike. There really is no better place on earth to learn this skill and I feel like I'm finally somewhere I belong.
It really is unbelievable that a year has flown by, and I'm sure this next year will go by even faster! With our first internship coming up in a little over a month, I'm starting to realize how soon I'm going to be out in the real world on my own. I can only hope and pray that I will stay in touch with the people I have come to know and love.
I know, I'm probably jumping ahead of myself. I've still got quite a bit of time! This blogpost is a bit heavy for such a lovely, summer evening; so for now, I suppose I'll sit back with my Starbucks and enjoy this long weekend!
I'll raise a glass to that.
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one! Hands down, RCC was the best 2 years of my life. And yes, it flies by before your eyes. I can't believe it's been over a year since I've graduated! Enjoy it to the fullest, and live it up!!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen, sista!!
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! Im so excited to be learning so much and so close to finishing, but its so bittersweet. I will miss this school more than anything, RCC is the best place to be, seriously.
