In my youth I was a wild child. I say wild child because I was careless and lacked respect for rules as well as authority. My wild characteristic carried into my first year of college at Bloomfield College‚ New Jersey. Now as a freshman one would care about one’s grades and college career‚ however I didn’t truly care.
