College here I come

September 2017, I started on a journey that many thought might never come, I started college.  I am going to St. Lawrence College taking courses in the General Arts and Science faculty.  I will concentrate on computer courses.  I am enrolled in the CICE program (Community Integration through Cooperative Education).

I am living on my own in residence.  At first I thought this would be scary as I never thought I would be living on my own, but I am.  I go to my classes, eat in the cafeteria and do my daily living without the help of others.  I do have learning specialists who attend classes with me, who scribe and help make sure I accomplish everything I need to, to be successful in college.  This has been a huge step in my life and I am very proud of my accomplishments to date.

I am off - the car was packed with my things and I made sure to take my computer with me so I could play my video games when I was not in class or doing homework.


My residence room.  I have a nice size room with lots of space for my computer and of course my extra food. The fridge and microwave are great for me to make food when the cafeteria is closed. Especially to make a snack before going to sleep.


I am now a college student and I know my way around the campus.
