LDNE 2013 graduates off to next adventure

This is a three part series. Up first is Brenna Wakeley. Kat Country Hub asked her to share her feelings on going off to college, leaving Lyons and what her expectations are for her future. Here is what Brenna submitted to Kat Country Hub.

The time is finally here. It felt so distant 4 years ago starting my freshman year. But now, I’ve begun to pack my dorm room items in storage tubs and stacked them in my room ready to go. I have to admit that I’m sad to leave my family. I’ve spent the last 18 years living with them and now I’ll be on my own. While sharing feelings and tears the last few months, I know they feel the same way. Luckily, Wayne State is only about 45 minutes away. I’m excited to start this new part of my life and be independent.

With 16 credit hours, I know that Wayne State is going to keep me busy. I’ve decided to take Biology, Computers, Algebra, Psychology, and Spanish. Lyons-Decatur has done a great job preparing me for these classes. I plan to take full advantage to all Wayne State offers. Intermurals, the rec, and other social activities will keep me occupied. I’m excited to decorate my room, meet new friends, and start this new journey. The time to leave is here whether I like it or not so I might as well make the most of it. This is supposed to be the best time of my life and I plan to enjoy every minute of it.
