Today, June 18th, 2017, marks the last day of my first week of college at Paul Quinn College and I am proud to say, “I survived”. Committing to Paul Quinn was a really big decision for me because this school is a 17 hour drive away from my home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. I was afraid that I might get homesick or that I would not have the support of my family because I would be so far away from home. Soon, after visiting the Dallas campus, I realized that Paul Quinn was the school for me. This is the school where I will grow as an individual and I have come to that realization in my first week of college through the many conversations with upperclassmen, faculty, alumni and summer bridge students.…
My whole life was altered the day I found out my parents were separating. They told me that I will have to attend a new, bigger school, where the total number of students was five times larger than my old school. That school, Edwardsville, was going to be a gigantic adjustment from my old school. This is story of how moving to Edwardsville changed my life. “You will be living with your Father and Grandmother for senior year,” my mother told me.…

Think back to when you were a child. Some children dream about being a superhero or a fire fighter. I may have said that, but; more often than not said “When I grow up I wanna be a teacher!” If you have known me for any length of time, chances are you 've heard me say this! Many, like Aunt Sandy, have told me that 's what I was born to do!…
I still picture that morning vividly. Curiosity raced through my mind along with anxiousness, fear, and excitement. I did not know what to expect. I looked at the boarding pass that not only contained my access to the plane but it was the key to a new world, a new life, a new me. My life was never going to be the same again.…
The teacher made me introduce myself and told me to sit down. I felt like I was a deer being stared down by a bunch of hungry beasts. The other students already had cliques established, and no one seemed to jump out of the social construct to say hi. The class proceeded as a normal class would, with lecture followed by questions. The bell rang for lunch time, the students ushered out, and into the cafeteria like wild animals.…
Personal Narrative I have been to three different schools throughout my entire life. These schools have shaped me into what i am today. I have always thought that everything happens for a reason.

I woke up this morning feeling great. The sun was shining, my dorm was clean,my skin was clear… for once. I could tell today would be great. Being a freshman in college would seem like it would be the most stressful thing in the world, it is, but a positive butterfly like me, I try my best not to stress. Besides the psycho amount of work I have to do, being two states away from your parents is absolutely amazing.…

My sophomore year I failed a class…
