Personal Narrative: My Year In College At Texas A & M University

645 Words3 Pages

In a fews days now I will be done with my fist year in college at Texas A&M University kingsville. Although I can’t say it was an easy year, it was by far one of the best years of my life. College was nothing that I expected, I knew it was going to challenge me because of the advice people would give me but I never knew if was going to include all nighters, stress, and something even anxiety. Despite all the challenges, college has taught me many things. I faced many challenges throughout my year. One, leaving home and being away from my family was one of the hardest things i’ve ever done. Being so close to everyone in my family made me feel homesick at times. My grades took a great impact due to the wrong group of “friends” i was socializing with. I was doing stuff I wasn’t supposed to and not attending class. Because of these reason I failed most of my classes and my GPA dropped. I was extreamly dissapointed in myself and so were my parents. I felt like I let …show more content…

But now I think it’s one of the most important class you could take as a freshman. Not only do you meet people from your same major, the program guides you through your first year. It’s a class that you definetly need to help you from the transition of high to college. I am so glad this class is offered and recommended to freshmens. My recommendations to the UNIV program would only be one; to always keep it as a mandatory requirement to all freshams. Without this class I wouldn’t have learned the correct way to email my profesors as well as how to deal with my issues physically and mentally. Overall, my first year in college was a success and I only plan to overcome any challenges life has in store for me. I can’t wait for next semester to meet new professors and classmates. College is amazing and I’m so glad I made the decision to attend and persue my dream career. I’ve been able to find myself and what I want to be in the

As I sit in the basement of the Lilly Library, surrounded by friends who have become family in a few short months, covered in calculus and EQ notes, and listening to some Duke Ellington jazz music for my Music 101 class, I can’t help but reflect on what this year has meant to me and my development as a student, athlete, brother, friend, and person.

Deciding to attend Texas A&M University was both a hardship and immense, opportunity in my life. Coming from a close knit background, and possessing a very family oriented character, my decision to come to this incredible institution was one out of my comfort zone.

My counselors would have said no, my friends, my college advisor, my family.
