The Next Step

I survived the first week! To people who are not necessarily that close to me won't understand why, but this is big step for me. I love my classes and I've managed to make some good friends, which I always thought might be difficult. I finished another book on my way to 100 in 1001 days. Titled, More With Less, it was about the state of humanitarianism and what needs to be done to prepare for disasters, both natural and man-made. There are many different ways that people can help and I think the important thing is to not only focus on the initial recovery stage and on the restoration and preparation stages which would alleviate the stress which would result from the disasters. Everyone needs to do their share in order to make the world a better place.

Chapter X

This is it. Today I moved into my dorm at Fordham where I will earn my Bachelors degree. In what, I'm not quite sure yet, but I plan to finish here. For a while it felt like nothing was happening, but over the past few days it has become increasingly real and now I am here. I do not know what this experience will have in store and I am excited to see what will happen. Since the last time I went away to college, my life has changed immensely. I feel more capable of rising above difficulties that may come up. I am excitedly nervous for what is going to happen. Here's to life my friends!
