Goodbye Freshmen Year, Hello Sophmore year

My first year here at Stan State has been very memorable. There was good and bad times through the year, but I think I got through it. I meet a lot of new people here and had a lot of new experiences here. Some of the people I have met have even became some of my closest of friends ever. My whole experience her has just been great in general. I do not think I would have been able to go through this year without the help of others from back at home. I know that everyday spent here is going towards my education and future in what I want to do. For someone who is from Southern California the whole atmosphere was completely different than what I am used to. Not only am I miles away from home, but I lived with people I never met until now for about a year. Even the community here was different, I did not expect the area to be the way it is; but now that I have seen it I like it. I believe that high school did not really prepare me so much for college. Everything here is way different than high school, not only are the classes different but so are the assignments, tests, and professors. Stan State is something that I have never experienced until now, but I think that I have found my own home here and it's not only a new chapter in my life but also a new beginning. I am ready for another year here at Stan State and see what it has in store for me.
