The End of the first semester

As this semester comes to an end, and I get to sit here and write papers until the late hours of the night, I get to reflect on how my first semester went. I can honestly say that it didn't turn out the way I expected, but I don't think that's totally a bad thing. I wasn't originally planning on attending college so was a whole this was a totally new experience. I am so happy that I made the decision to come, I don't think I would have matured this quick in 3 months. I have loved the chance to expand my knowledge and have my beliefs, theories, and philosophy challenged. The diversity I've been able to experience here has been great. And the respect and accept of my ethnicity has also been a blessing. So I guess in the end my first semester wasn't all that bad. Sure I had some pretty big bumps in the road, but I'm still here.
