There were alot of things that I was worried about as a senior. I had only enough money to pay for a plane ticket out here after that I had nothing.

It would have been so easy to stay on my island in the pacific. If I could tell myself one thing I would say, "go for it! it's everything you want in a college. Be ready to work and make the best friends you'll ever have. Don't think it's gonna be a piece of cake. It will be hard but it will also be worth every drop of sweat and every single tear.
