Assignment 7- Gaby Rondel

I can't say that I know what my ideal college is, but I know what my ideal college experience would be like. For me, college should be a place where you can learn to prepare for your future and learn about yourself and the kind of person you are. It should be a place where you become the person you're meant to be. I know. It's cheesy. But that's what I want. I want a college where I can pursue my interests academically (in and outside my major). I want a place where I am free to be me whether that be religiously, clumsily, artistically, stupidly, smartly (is that a word?), plant-loverly, humorously, etc. I want college to be a place that will prepare me for the life that I am currently completely unprepared for.  I want a school where I can be part of the stage-crew for plays. I want a place that I can connect with people like me. I want to have fun. I want to live. I want to travel. I want to prove to my parents that I can make it. But more importantly, I want to prove to myself that I can make it. My ideal college provides a space where I can be all of these things.
