I come from a small school but a big city. I grew up in Inglewood a city in the county of Los Angeles. I am the fourth out of five children. Just like me my older siblings have gone to college it was expected of me to go. The night before I left I felt over whelmed I was going to a state I had never been to before. I had no idea how the people where or if I was even going to like it. I had just seen the school through a computer screen. Luckily I had another friend with me, if it wasn’t for Michele I don’t know how I would do it all alone. In this semester I have came to the conclusion that college does not determine your future; it is a tool used to help me find my passions and set future goals. Moving on, I choose Hanover College because I wanted to try something knew. Two of my older siblings go to a private liberal arts school and they love. Hanover was one of the few liberal arts school’s that accepted me. I loved that the school was small, and in the countryside. I have always lived in the city and I though this would also be a great opportunity to explore other states and so I began my journey to Hanover College. It was a Friday evening when I arrived to Louisville and Michele was waiting for me. We took a taking to Hanover, I thought in my head what am I doing with all of these con fields. My first memory of Hanover College is having the taxi drop us off in the middle of a parking lot. I had no idea what to do, and I thought to myself this is going to be a horrible semester. Luckily there were some senior moving in that helped us. This first semester I have learned a lot about myself. At first I wanted to become a Spanish teacher but just because it was the easy way out. I knew Spanish and Being a part of the Spanish clubbed helped me learn about the small amount of Hispanics in towns where the majority is white. In the city where I live here are
