Entering my first year of college in the fall of 2016 was very stressful‚ but I believed I found a home for myself for the next four years at Rosemont College.

One time‚ I was riding my bike and I was a little worried. I did not have the right equipment‚ nor did I know the rules‚ and I was confused on what I was capable of doing while I was biking.

Wearing good equipment will keep an individual
