Amber Nicole R Carrillo Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology-EAHP This a poem on my family member read to me when I was having a hard time in my first semester in college. Climb the steps one by one, For one day it will be done, Your mind body and soul will sing, 'Success is what I can achieve.' No matter what comes your way, Never decide to run away; From problems, issues and complications, For deep within you, there is true determination. Never get disheartened if you fail 'First Attempt In Learning' is what it means, You can overcome once you've failed; If you are really keen! Many more attempts you'll make, Until its your final take, Then you'll see your goal not very far; Now you realize your true potential and who you really are! b y B h a v y a P a r a n j p e 45 Amber's Words of Wisdom I can say that where I am finishing my undergrad is not where I started. I never thought that would have transferred schools in the middle of my degree. But I wouldn’t change anything about my journey to earning my degree. Yes, my last semester did not go as planned, but I gain new skills and learned a bunch of new things. Everything in life happens for a reason, and I couldn’t be more happier about the outcome.
