I met with my College Algebra Professor‚ Sarah Hawkins on October 12‚ 2016 at 11 am. The reason I met with her was to discuss my grade in College Algebra and to improve it.

I felt myself emerging from being a boy into a young man. As mom pulled up to the college in our rented SD car‚ I took a gasp of fresh air. I saw many cars with students pulling up to the campus with curious on lookers like myself.

Reflection about my first year of college. After ending this first year of college I experienced a lot of things and I will remember most of them for the rest of my life.

Obviously‚ I would like to have changed some of those‚ but some others I would not have changed. I am going to start talking about all the things I would like to have change. During

For most of my adult life‚ I have struggled to define success -success‚ in the sense‚ that I have never been where I wanted to be.
