I have gained soo much insights about college, some good and some bad, but all needed.♥ Summer bridge was a big learning experience in my future college career, because ii learned alot about the school, where the classes are and met a lot of useful people,♥ especially the Police Officers, ♥ aha, dont judge me, there alot of crazy people in this world♥. I developed new friendships, learned alot about people, not all were the best, but ii learned how to go with the flow♥. Everyone from the peers, staff, and faculty all helped me succeed♥. I leaned that i need to be a little more organized, especially with time management. Living on the dorms was especially a big insight. I didnt know that it was going to be the way it was.♥ At 1st ii was like, okay, im n a dorm with all these FEMALES "(, they better stay away from my personal area and jus let me do me♥. But as time went on we all grew our little family, and had meetings♥ and just talked out our differences, and let everyone be themselves. I L♥VE the whole idea of being away from home, because it make me be more independent♥ Throuout the journey of summer bridge, i learned many things about others and myself that i will never forget♥

Thinking about your strengths and resources (Resources includes people), what specific ideas do you have for proactively addressing or overcoming these obstacles? (Everyone faces some challenges during their college journey, so "none" is not an acceptable answer.)

I came into college thinking that i would have so may obstacles that would be hard to become,♥ but just getting through these past weeks, made me realize that i dont have any worries.♥ I related with so many people who had similar challenges and i felt that we all have the strength to get through them. ♥ The only thing that i can say makes me a little scared about college is making sure i have the money to pay of anything that is needed for me to pay off. ♥ I can make sure that i overcome this by saving and learning how to budget. ♥ I learned alot about that during summer bridge and my strengths also show me positive ways to get through all these obstacles♥.
