The world I knew was gone. I had to find a way to survive in this one. Changing schools sophomore year was a huge change for me. I spent freshman year adjusting to a new school and was surrounded by people that I have known since elementary school. Now, I was in a whole new school with 4,000 strangers all because of a last minute decision to move to Texas and leave everything I had ever known in Virginia.

Anyone can self-teach themselves but to truly understand something one needs help from someone who already knows the ins and outs. The reason I want to go to college is for guidance and ,hopefully, experience. To me, college is an opportunity to speak with different minds and understand things from many perspectives.
