                                                        New Change in Life

            Well this semester is coming to an end and may I say it was a pleasure having nice, cool classmates as well having an awesome professor. Coming to college was a big change for me moving cities and leaving my family. Especially for me being an only child it was hard to leave.  It really is a miracle that I made it a whole year in college never thought I would make it. To be honest I was ready to give up during first semester, but something inside told me to not give up on myself. I was scared to be seen as a failure in the family till this day I am scared. Thinking about that is my motivation to keep on going. August came and it was time to move out start everything on my own. Getting here to Bryan I had to get a job there was no in, and’s, or but’s it was a must. School started and I was a full time student then I got a job. Back then I would work only 1 day out the week and I went to working 5 days a week that was a change. I know shocker right but I wasn’t used to it. I had it made back in high school thanks to my parents. Sometimes i wish I could go back, but I toke it for granted. Back to first semester I was trying to be a full time student and working 5 days a week. On top of that I had to adjust moving away and not having my family around. To be honest first semester broke me down I mean way down I won’t lie I cried a few times. I always kept telling myself I was going to move back to my home town, but there was nothing there for me and I wanted to be someone. So I stayed first semester was no good. Then winter break came along I was excited to go home oh but I forgot I worked so I stayed and worked all winter break. Poof just like that my winter break was over and second semester came around. I kind of knew what to expect and was ready to start the semester. I had to take off some classes because I knew what I can handle. So far it’s going good I am glad I didn’t give up. Yea this semester I had my setbacks with my car crash and family problems but that life right. I just had to get use to this new change. I am now ready to finish this semester strong. As many told be your first semester will be hard, trust me it is hard but just have to keep on pushing yourself. Look ahead and don’t give up in your life goals
