Making the right moves by Slae Brannon From the day we are bom to the day we die. we are constantly moving. We experience many different things in life. Some are good, and some are bad, but all of these experiences help to make each one of us an individual. School is an inevitable part of life. As soon as we are able to recite the alphabet and count past 10 we are enrolled in school, and there we stay for the required amount of years until we get our high school diploma. After high school, we all must decide what our next move in life will be. Some choose to go straight to work, while others decide that college is the best choice for them. Choosing a college is an easy task for some. In their case it is not merely a matter of choice, it is a family destiny. Others choose a college for its cost or convenience. In the best of cases, these two factors combine to create the starting point for a memorable college experience. Some of us come to college with our eyes wide open and ready to take on the world. Some are eager, some are afraid, and still others are indifferent. For some, going to college is a matter of leaving home and going to a new environment to experience different things and meet a variety of people. For others, college is an extension of their present environment, going to school with the same people they have known for years, and sometimes meeting and making new friends. At college, each individual’s experiences and backgrounds merge with the experiences and backgrounds of the people around them. People from all walks of life get together and share thoughts and ideas, and hopefully some of the things we learn from each other will help us to understand ourselves a little better. A small college like Kilgore College has the perfect atmosphere for a person to make many friends among fellow students, and sometimes with faculty members. As we go through our college years studying late hours, going out with friends, participating in school activities and attending the athletic events, we experience many things to store in our minds and look back upon in later years. We will remember friends we made, things we did, instructors we liked (and others we weren’t so fond of), and other particular happenings that helped make our years at college complete. Some will move on from here to other colleges to further their educations, while others will apply what they’ve learned toward getting a job. As we move on to the next stage of life, hopefully we will look back at our college years with fond memories. We have tried, on these pages, to show a cross section of a year in the life of Kilgore College. Mo»m' On 3 The Rangerettes march on during summer practice.
