Everyday presents a new challenge. There are times where bills might feel like a lot, while other times it might be a battle just to get out of bed. The pressure can feel like it’s too much and that’s a normal feeling to have, especially as a student. But everyday a student continues to move forward is another day that challenge is conquered. Not everyone has the opportunity to attend college. Sometimes life gets in the way and forces people to step back from school. It’s also no secret that college is a big financial step that some simply cannot make. There are many obstacles in life that prevent people from this life. So to the students who are here, never forget that you got here, and that it’s worth celebrating everyday. A plethora of students attend Pierce College, all from different backgrounds and for different reasons. There are running start students, and students who haven’t been to school since graduating years ago. Some students are here after having found a sudden new passion they can finally pursue, while others have recently graduated and are just getting started. What brought them to Pierce will always be an important step in their life. And over the summer, Pierce has made many changes to try and make that mean something. Artist have gone out of their way to create a sculpture meant to inspire those on campus, while Campus Safety has made improvements to their office for the benefit of the students. Those interested in studying abroad now have unique opportunities to do so, and new additions to the campus are being discussed for the future. A lot has happened on campus with more to come, but none of that matters if the students aren’t here to experience it. Students should feel happy to be where they are now. Never forget the steps taken to get here, and know that there’s always new opportunities for students looking to make the most of the year as they attend. A new chapter begins now, so make it a great one. Welcome to Pierce College, and for those who’ve been here before, welcome back.
