I DID IT!!!!


Hi everyone,
    I finally graduated from the College of Saint Rose, and I’m now a college graduate. The last two years I’ve been in college is now done for me. I’ve learned so much over the two years that I’ve been in college. I’ve learned how to cook, do laundry, going shopping, going to a local bank to withdraw or deposit money, and going to events inside and outside of college.
    When I first started college in 2014, I went for an interview with staff residence and that when they said that I got accepted, my mom and everyone else was so happy and so excited to hear that I got accepted into going to college. The College of Saint Rose was a great college campus, and that I loved the way it looked.
    My first year in college started off pretty good, but unfortunately I lost two of my roommates. So I was a little bit lonely lol. But it was quiet for me to do my chores and catch up on homework, and things. My second year is so much better. I’m rooming with someone who I went to High School with. Now there’s four guys in the dorm house, and that we all get along really well. We watch movies, hang out, watch sporting events on TV, and cook together.
    I have a job internship at Pioneer Bank in Downtown Troy. My job tasks at the bank are prepping and scanning files in a scanner. If the scanner gets jammed, I re-organize the files and rescan the files again. If there’s nothing else to scan, I ask my fellow employees what I should next. My fellow employees are very nice to me, especially my supervisor. Whenever I ask for help, my fellow employees help me right away.
    My second bit of great news is I finally got my driver’s license! I had a great opportunity to drive and drive and drive until I finally took the road test and that my driving instructor said that I passed.  When I first heard the word “passed”, I was so stunned and couldn’t believe it. I got out of the car with excitement and pride. The hardest part of driving was parallel parking, and looking over my left shoulder to see if any cars or pedestrians were coming. The easiest part of driving, was driving on the road and obeying the rules and regulations. When I first started learning how to drive a car, and when I first put my foot on the gas pedal to make the car move, I thought it was the most amazing thing ever.
    July 29th is my last day at college, and that when I come back from college, I want to find and live in an apartment, get a job, and hopefully buy a car, and get married and have children.
