I am forward from my parents, and I am on my own. What more could you ask for?Well, maybe it isnt that great, I thought. I am two hundred miles from home, and away from all of my friends.So, aahh, what should we do? I asked.I dont know, replied Travis.I think college life might be harder than I thought, I said.Dont worry, he said, youll gear up it.I know Ill make it, but it is hard to meet people, I said. Not to mention I am away from my family and friends.Is school hard for you? he asked.No, not yet, I said. I havent really had to do anything so far. All I do is take notes and listen to lectures. I havent even had a test so far.Two weeks and you havent had a test yet? he asked.Nope I replied. I havent even had homework yet. You suck he exclaimed. Then why are you whining about how hard school is?I dont know, I replied.After the conversation, I thought about what he said. I could be over re-acting a little bit.

We have to write a two to three page narrative paper on something we know. And in this paper, we have to show specific examples of how we know it. Not to mention a second part of it that I dont understand.Oh no This sounds impossible, I thought. I am lost. I dont know where to begin. How am I ever going to tolerate through this?I walked up to the teacher to ask a header, when I heard him say to another student, What do you know how to do?She replied, I dont know.Well, do you play sports? He asked.Yes.What sports?Taekwondo, She replied.See, you know that, he said. Use that for the egress on your homework.I guess I wont ask him a question anymore, I thought.Thinking the girl knew what to do, I walk ed out with her, hoping to get a better grasp on the assignment.
