Introduction to my Journey Maps
In H200 we created a journey map that reflected our past and how we came to where we are today. The journey maps helped shows us how even when a student journey seems like a seamless trajectory it can be full of bumps that you didn't have planned. As a senior in H496, revisiting and expanding my journey map to include my full college career allowed me to see how each obstacle and milestone played a role in my personal and academic growth. It highlighted how those moments helped shape the person I have become today.

Reflection:
Looking back at my freshman-year journey map, I can see how much of my story was shaped by high school experiences, early uncertainties, and initial transitions into college. At the time, the touchpoints and pain points felt overwhelming and defining. Creating a new journey map as a senior allowed me to reflect on my full college experience with greater perspective, showing not only the challenges and activities I encountered, but also how I grew through them. Including my next steps in this updated map highlights how those earlier struggles helped clarify my goals and prepare me for what comes after college. Together, both journey maps show my growth from navigating uncertainty to moving forward with intention and confidence.
