I was walking into Starbucks a couple of days ago to get my usual order: a Matcha Latte with a pump of vanilla syrup and vanilla sweet cream cold foam\u2014and for the first time in a really long time I realized this would be my last semester at the University of Idaho.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a student in Moscow since August 2020, but have been in college since 2018.<\/p>\n

Although I\u2019ve been so caught up with what\u2019s been going on in the news and working as a part-time reporter, this month I took it upon myself to focus on my future endeavors and surrounding myself with the people I have around me.<\/p>\n

One of the most frequently asked questions has been what I\u2019m going to do after I graduate, which I find always makes me laugh.<\/p>\n

It makes me think back to when I was in high school and being asked what I\u2019m going to major in. But this time I\u2019m not as scared.<\/p>\n

Regardless of where I go and what I do, I know I will have the support of my parents, my family and friends, cheering me on. But, most importantly, I\u2019ve become my own biggest cheerleader.<\/p>\n

As I count down the days and the amount of times people ask me, I\u2019ll just casually sit back and soak in the last couple of months as an undergrad.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not worried; I\u2019ll figure it out.<\/p>\n

You will, too.<\/p>\n

NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

E<\/p>\n

staba entrando en Starbucks hace un par de d\u00edas para obtener mi pedido habitual: un Matcha Latte con una bomba de jarabe de vainilla y espuma fr\u00eda de crema dulce de vainilla, y por primera vez en mucho tiempo, me di cuenta de que este ser\u00eda mi \u00faltimo semestre en la Universidad de Idaho.<\/p>\n

He sido estudiante en Moscow, Idaho, desde agosto de 2020, pero he estado estudiando en universidades desde 2018.<\/p>\n

Aunque he estado tan atrapada con lo que ha estado sucediendo en las noticias y trabajando como reportera a tiempo parcial, este mes me encargu\u00e9 de concentrarme en mis esfuerzos futuros y rodearme de las personas que tengo a mi alrededor.<\/p>\n

Una de las preguntas m\u00e1s frecuentes ha sido qu\u00e9 voy a hacer despu\u00e9s de graduarme, que siempre me hace re\u00edr.<\/p>\n

Me hace pensar en cuando estaba en la escuela secundaria y me preguntaron en qu\u00e9 me iba a especializar. Pero esta vez no estoy tan asustado.<\/p>\n

Independientemente de d\u00f3nde vaya y lo que haga, s\u00e9 que tendr\u00e9 el apoyo de mis padres, mi familia y amigos, anim\u00e1ndome. Pero lo m\u00e1s importante, me he convertido en mi mayor animadora.<\/p>\n

Mientras cuento los d\u00edas y la cantidad de veces que la gente me pregunta, me siento casualmente y me sumerjo en los \u00faltimos meses como estudiante.<\/p>\n

No estoy preocupado; Lo resolver\u00e9.<\/p>\n

T\u00fa tambi\u00e9n lo har\u00e1s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
