Celebrating Academic Success

No more classes! YIPPPEEEEEEEEEE! Really, I only have to take an online quiz and final for my math class; however, that's pretty much all that I have left to do to close out the very few days that are left of my very first year here at UIS. The fact that I have survived my very first year at UIS is totally amazing, and it has been quite exciting and fun all at the very same time. Was I the least bit scared about surviving this first-ever experience? Maybe a little to begin with, but that fear gradually disappeared once I got involved in activities, which I have thoroughly enjoyed all year long.
I can now say that I HAVE SURVIVED MY "FIRST" YEAR OF COLLEGE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD TO START ALL OVER AGAIN AS A FRESHMAN. It has allowed me to grow academically in subject areas that have, in the past, always been quite troubling for me. Math is an area that I feel I've overcome this semester, and if I had to take math again. . . I'd definitely do whatever it took to be a good student.

My Interesting Life As a Student

Springfield, Illinois, United States
I'm living in Springfield, but I'm originally from Chicago. I am now living in a group home for people who are visually impaired. Living at the Mary Bryant Home has been a huge step in my life. I am now able to get involved in activities every day. I am making lots of new friends, and I'm enjoying living with my new family. Since I'm the youngest person, I feel like I have lots of parents and grandparents, and even my best friend, who is like a big sister, to spend my time with. I don't think I'd change this for anything else in the world.
