Finally the decision making has come to an end and now I am officially a student at Rider University. As a little kid I had always dreamed of this moment. The moment of finally being done with school. The moment of choosing the next chapter to my life. Finally I am present and in this living moment. My decision is left with Rider University. As happy as someone can be with their decision making, I am happy to face the world on my own and at my own pace. As I have recently learned and been re-introduced to, pace is important. Let me start by saying that we all learn at different paces, the same way that each and everyone of us runs at different paces. Stop and think for a moment, what is your pace? Although I might have a pace I learn at now I know that it will be different in college, when I am on my own, weather its for good or for bad. However In college I believe that I will find my pace, especially when I find my passion and I will be far beyond dedicated. This link to the meanings of more than just these two words: dedication and pace, came to me after completing the movie whiplash for the first time this weekend. Struck to me by how much dedication the protagonist had, the idea of being so dedicated, setting your mind to it, and being able to do it at your own pace is surreal— you notice this at the end. No wonder why this movie has been awarded heavily. So For now I will be beginning my learning at the school of business at Rider University. And when I begin it I will begin it with dedication and at my pace (corresponding to my schedule I am given). “Only you can control your future.” ~Dr. Seuss

Stefan!! First of all, congrats on your decison on attending Rider University! Your pace will probably fast-forward when you are in college but I'm glad to see that you are keeping that in mind. I would like to know more about the connection you see to the movie with your life! I saw the movie a few months ago and loved it too :)

Stangl! I'm happy for you and the decision you've made! It seems like a great fit for you next year and the years after. I agree with you too that people learn at different paces. Unfortunately, there's still such a pressure in school for everyone to work at the same pace. It's hard to get past that, but I hope you're able to at Rider!
