MY BRIDGE EXPERIENCE

WELL BEFORE COMING TO BRIDGE I WONT LIE I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE I FELT LIKE COLUMBIA WAS GOING TO BE HARD. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE WORK. I SAY THAT BECASUE IN HIGH SCHOOL I GOT KICKED OUT TWICE AND WENT TO AN ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL. IN THE ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL THE WORK WAS HELLA EASY AND IF I DIDNT DO IT THE TEACHERS LIKED ME SO MUCH THAT I DIDNT GET PENALIZE FOR IT. SO FOR ME NOT TO HAVE THE RIGHT EDUCATIONAL TRAINING I FELT LIKE I WASNT GOIN TO SUCCEED. BY NO MEANS DID I THINK IM NOT SMART ENOUGH IT WAS JUST THAT I FELT INSECURE ABOUT MY ABILITIES AND PLUS I HAD IGNORANT PEOPLE TELLING ME AW YOUR NOT COLUMBIA READY AND SHIT LIKE THAT. SO PEOPLE ATTITUDE TOWARD ME COMING TO COLUMBIA MADE ME WANT TO WORK EVEN HARDER TO PAST BRIDGE NOT SAYING I DIDNT WANT IT, ITS JUST YOU KNOW WHEN PEOPLE DOUBT YOU IT MAKES YOU WANT TO WORK HARDER JUST TO PROVE THEM WRONG AND MAKE THEM EAT SHIT. BRIDGE WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED BUT I GLAD I CAME BEC AUSE I HAD A WONDER MATH TEACHER AND EXCELLENT ENGLISH TEACHERS THAT TAUGHT ME TO THINK MORE OUTSIDE THE BOX, TO BE PROACTIVE, ASK QUESTION, RESPECT EVERYBODY, AND WRITE BETTER ESSAY. ALSO I LEARNED THAT I CAN AND WILL FINISH COLLEGE AND IM SO GRATEFUL THAT ITS HERE AT COLUMBIA CAUSE I WOULDNT WANT IT ANY OTHER PLACE.
SO I WANT TO THANK ROSEMARY MY MATH TEACHER FOR HELPING ME UNDERSTAND BINARY SOMETHING I NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOW WITH OUT HER. THANKS FLYNN AND TODD FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO KNOW MY TRICKS FOR LEARING PUTTING ME ON COLLEGE LEVEL IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, TECAHING ME HOW TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX LIKE WAY OUTSIDE LOL.
