Soy un estudiante de primer año de universidad y un adolescente de acogida.. Voy al Rhode Island College conocido como RIC.. Cuando me aceptaron en RIC, Me dieron una beca de cuidado de crianza. lo cual es genial. Puedo ir a la universidad gratis, pero gratis no significa realmente gratis.. Only other people in foster care get it. Yes I go for free but at the cost of dealing with so much. I worked just as hard as everyone else to go to this school but no more sad stuff.
I live in a dorm and my two best friends live with me. I met Jason and Katie at my orientation. They are the two I click with the most. They always make me feel included and make sure I am doing good. Katie helps me and always makes sure I have someone to talk to and Jason is always doing things to make us laugh.
Now classes are good, sometimes they are hard. I loved my classes last semester and I hope I feel the same about this semester. This semester I have a class with my two besties so that should be fun and I hope to go to more plays and concerts.
