I constantly struggled as much as I was ill prepared for the courses at the college. My early semesters were disastrous; I couldn't balance the workload from courses with my own personal life. Because I was the first person in my family to even attend college at the time, I tried to get by alone, completely confused by the freedom college provides. I almost quit school entirely after the fall semester, until I met another student named Luke; he encouraged me through the courses that we took together not to mention Luke helped me in any way that he could. I began to develop similar relationships with others that shared the same conundrum, forming a clique of anxiety filled, caffeine chugging friends that accelerated my status into a somewhat decent student. I realized that camaraderie is extremely in an educational environment. I look forward to the prospect of building new, strong relationships at a UC college. Life is all about adversity that I overcame with others.
