Je suis un étudiant de première année et un adolescent adoptif. Je vais au Rhode Island College connu sous le nom de RIC. Quand j'ai été accepté au RIC, J'ai reçu une bourse d'études en famille d'accueil. Ce qui est génial. Je peux aller à l'université gratuitement, mais gratuit ne veut pas vraiment dire gratuit. 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.
