02/14/2025This week has been a whirlwind of deadlines, learning, and growth. As a second-year student at South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC), I’m navigating midterms, major class projects, and the daunting task of applying to transfer to a four-year university. My current top priority is the University of Washington’s Computer Science program with applications due Feb. 15. Balancing these responsibilities with my role as a State Board legislative intern and my job at SPSCC’s Transition Studies Department has been challenging, but it’s also been a lesson in resilience and balancing responsibilities.Khanh Phamintern
