‘Be where your feet are’ — Students speaker cherishes friends, experiences at MCC
Friday, May 12, 2023
There are very few places in the world like a junior college. McCook is little to no one’s final destination, and when I first got here fresh out of high school this was a hard concept for me to grasp. Basic college rule says that this is the time in your life where you are supposed to meet your best friends and wish that these years would never end. But it was hard for me to make deep connections with those around me in the beginning because, how can you build meaningful relationships with people who are so set on getting out of here as fast as they can and move on to bigger and better. While I was having this internal struggle, I failed to remember the other basic rule of college, the one where you learn that sometimes you are wrong.
