I came here in 2011 for the Spring semester. I had previously went to Albright College… but had a little bit too much fun. At that point, it was the first time I had ever really been kicked out of a school. My mind was blown and I was like, 'what do I do?' When you’re in high school and just growing up, everyone is kind of like, ‘yeah you go away to college for four years and then you’re done, and then life!’ So I’m like, wait, I’ve never done this bad in school before so it was just like a reality shock! I wasn’t working at the time, I was still living with my parents and I didn’t want to sit around. I wanted to be some kind of productive. I bombed school so I’m not just going to sit around and do nothing. But, I’m almost done now! I still have to take an elective, which I’m taking now. It’s a counseling class to help you decide where you want your career to be. And I need a science class and a math class.
