Reflection Paper On The Road Not Taken

Welcome, Middlesex County College Freshman of 2016-2017! Wait, is it actually possible that I made it to college? I thought to myself I wasn’t able to make it this far with the struggles I have dealt throughout my life, but the rollercoaster ride of a journey that I had taken, finally paid off. I’m so happy that I finally can say that I made it and never gave up. Many college students may have different paths of life on how they got this far and each of our journeys are original.

Yes, I found out who my true friends when I was a senior in high school. It was truly rough to go through high not having had close friends to chat with until senior year, but I survived. There were days when I thought I couldn’t make it, but I could always rely on my parents and my teachers to help me get through it. How am I still standing today? Well, that would be, because of the
