Personal Narrative-It's Time To Go Into College

Great Essays
It is time to go into college on the west side. I got an A on my story and was awarded with a full scholarship to a college here in Oklahoma. Cherry and I are moving into a dorm on campus. It is weird to think she is my girlfriend now. She plans to be a teacher and I want to be a writer. I wonder what the socs and greasers will think of us. Will there be a lot of them at this college?
It’s been four years since all of that crazy stuff had happened. Alot has changed since then. Sandy came back from Florida to be with Soda, they are planning to get married and have already moved into their own house. Soda now works full time at the gas station, making a good amount of money for the both of them. Darry and I are socs now. It was for the best.

Once we get there we notice that the greasers are here first. Two-bit, Steve, and the Shepard’s. As we get closer we see the socs are all here too.
Cherry looks at me and shouts “Pony you can’t be doing this. Out of everyone here I didn’t think you would fight.”
“I ain’t fighting. I’m here to stop everyone.” I answer to her. Both the socs and greasers look to me with a confused look.
“Ponyboy why would you not want fight?” Two-bit says to me.
“You all need to understand that this isn’t going to do anything. Just think about the other rumbles we have had. Nothing changed, so why would this fight be any different?” I
