A thought about leaving COD

For those who don't know, I am leaving COD at the end of the semester. I won't discuss the reasons why I have to leave but just know that I am indeed leaving. I luckily have parents who are kind enough to let me back into  their house after they thought they finally got rid of me. Now, don't get me wrong, I am excited to go back to my home town where I have many good friends, an exciting church, and of course, a wonderful family, but I do have my concerns with my upcoming move.

Baseball is my number one concern. I really hope it works out at Mt. San Jacinto, where I plan to play in the spring. There is no guarantee that I will even make the team, and although I am confident in my abilities, I know change can really effect the way a player performs. I am really hoping that I can get a baseball scholarship by playing for this program. Baseball money that pays for my education is extremely valuable.

My next concern is that my credits will get thrown out of wack. I know this isn't likely to happen because the requirements for a degree at either school are very similar. I just don't want to be taking more classes than I would have been here at COD. I have worked hard to get all the units that I have, so it would be nice to continue to have all of them worth something.

Although I have these concerns about living in my third city in less than two years, I am excited for the adventure. I know God will help me with all my life's challenges; even these little school problems. I just need to give everything to Him and I know it will work out for me. He has a plan, and that's why I am on my way to my third school in 4 semesters. There's a reason, and as long as I don't get discouraged then I can see the good in it.

Now that I think about it, this change is exactly the motivation that I need to be the best baseball player that I can be. People will know me in this place. Their expectations will be much higher than I have seen so far in college. I will need to surpass their expectations.

So I guess my thoughts on leaving COD to go to MSJC are I need God's comfort, it's time to focus, and
LETS GO!!!!
