"Never sleep on the blessings right in front of you for what you think might come later." - Me 😊 It always makes me sad when I've talked to Community College students who choose to not embrace their college experience because "When they transfer, THEN they're REALLY going to get involved" as if going through community college is not valuable enough to invest oneself in to. And I've heard this many times, unfortunately. It makes me sad for them and inspires even more gratitude in my heart for these beautiful people I met @SantaMonicaCollege. 15+ years later; multiple levels of degrees, so many varieties of careers, marriages, births/deaths, heartbrakes, LOVE and LIFE... here we still are TODAY celebrating a 40th birthday. ♡ Feeling really blessed tonight. ♡ #SMC #SMCfam #BCCCrew #allthefeels #ChosenFamily ***AND, this is just a portion of our SMC peeps! 👊💪💛 #werolldeep
