This semester has been a big learning experience. I came into UCF at the beginning of the summer thinking that this semester was going to be a breeze. High school was very easy for me so I assumed college couldn’t be that much harder. Wow, was I wrong. It’s not that this semester was overly difficult it was just not what I was expecting. I really never had homework in high school and almost never had to study.

I had two or three best friends but if they weren’t there on the same day I felt completely alone. I continued to feel this way until I started FFA. FFA was to me what soccer was to the refugees, it was my outlet. I found a family in FFA and it made my high school career worthwhile. My goal for this semester was to get an A in this class. So far I am on track for this goal. I have and A- right now. To help myself keep on track for this goal I will continue to study for the final exam. I will have someone test me as another form of studying and I will also try to relax. I have always gotten extremely nervous before tests and this is absolutely no exception. My nerves often cause me to second guess myself and my work but I will
