I Can Learn and Finish What I Start

In my experience as an Entertainment Business student at Full Sail University, I would say there were times I thought I would crumble under the pressure and times I felt like I was soaring. I asked myself, knowing what I know now, would I do it again, and the answer is absolutely! This experience allowed me to see a better me, a stronger me. This is one of those things I dreaded, because I was not sure of myself, but now that it is done, I feel like I can conquer the world.

I have heard my instructors say more than once that when we graduate we will be one of the elite nine-percent and to be honest, I was not sure whether to get excited or get more terrified. Because surely, if less than ten-percent of Americans get Master’s degree’s then it has to be one of the hardest feats ever. I will not say it was easy, but I will say it is manageable. It is true, you can do anything you put your mind to with a little hard work and dedication.

The cost is high, not just monetary, but time. I had to say no to so many things to focus on this degree. One thing I kept in the back of my head was a saying from finance coach, Dave Ramsey. He said, “If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.” Of course this is his mantra for the way he saves money, but I found it quite effective as I pursued this degree.

I will not by any means say that I am an entertainment or a business expert now that I am literally less than fifteen days away from completing my degree. However, I will say that I am a finisher and a life-long learner. I have said it before, but now I am confident that I can learn anything and I can finish anything I start. Lookout entertainment world, I have credentials and I am coming to make my mark!
