Ever since I was very young my mom never believed that i would every go to college. my mother never diened that i was smart ,she just never believed that she could afford to provide me with the nessecary commodities that are need to attend college. I saw a lot of things i knew i never wanted to become with living i the city of New York. I saw that drugs and gangs were not the way to go which made my goal to go to college a larger dream than i ever thought it could be.
Now after 12 years of dreams i made my dream come true. i am attending Florida southern college and i am having the time of my life. The work is not that bad but that is not what i feel college is about. i feel that college is about finding your adult self. It is about finding life long friends to take the journey of you life with you. with coming to college I truly know that in my heart i hae found friends that will be with me for a long time. i have found support systems that i could not have gotten anywhere else.
with coming to Florida Southern i was able to develop myself into a better person without changing myself completely in to a different person that everyone can’t recognize or understand. I find myself being able to interact better with other personalities without judging or making up my own opinion of others. I see how college is a larger step then high school. I love the interaction with teachers and the time that we are able to get one on one with them ; in high school i didn’t get that as much.
In my first couple months i have learned how to remain independent and open up to people. I have made steps in making myself in to a better friend as well as person. i find that when things get complicated such as having papers due and work to be done I am much calmer and i am able to stay more focused on one thing then multitasking and geting things right the first time.
overall i feel that i am doing really well for my first year of college.
