Connecting the Dots

I've mentioned this before, but I'm very excited for the next two semesters because they will in all likelihood be the last of my undergraduate career. I'm optimistic for the future, even though I'm not entirely sure what lies ahead.

I've had a great job for the last two and half years that I hope to start full time after graduation. The company I currently work for is an analytics firm that specializes in providing predictive analysis for financial institutions. Having majored in statistics, I feel confident that some of the skills I have acquired in school will translate nicely to the work place. If all goes well, I'll be able to build an impressive resumé and work experience, which would help me achieve my goal of being accepted into a top MBA school. 

If the future were within my power to control, I would love to be accepted to UCLA. I loved living in California and would be ecstatic if the bumpy road of life brought me back to its golden coasts.

No matter what happens over the next few years, I feel confident that things will work themselves out. As Steve Jobs said in his famous stanford commencement address, "you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future." Although I don't know how, I feel hopeful that they will connect as push through the uncertainty of life.
