My journey as a student has always been focused on the path to college and success. My college life is just as exciting, where I experienced ups and downs like being on a roller coaster ride. There were exciting moments along with stressful, anxious, nervous, frightening and victorious moments. I have gone through a lot bumps during the semesters, but I've also enjoyed the ride in between. I hear people complain about the college life , saying that they could have done much more, but in may case, it is the best experience one could have had. But it wouldn't be possible without my teachers and mentors. I may not have always shown it, but I'm grateful to have such awesome teachers in my life. Thank you for guiding me throughout my journey. Besides learning I had chance to make good friends who were there for me when I needed them. I still feel like college is my second family. Although the journey of the college life with my teachers and friends is very short but given by them a lot of beautiful memories that will always remain in my heart. College inspired to think differently. It's like no other time in your life. College is the best place to enjoy life happily- nothing else can beat that.
