ifjgfjMfl Il ' a ' ' ' f ill • Jl In :-■ When uue oil came to this school uue planned to get on education, but as uue go through school uue begin to realize that uue ' re getting so much more: college isn ' t just o school, it ' s q uuay of life! For many of us. it uuas the first time we had to share our room uuith someone else. It uuas a strange experience. It takes o lot of patience and real effort on both ports to live uuith a roommate. But gradually, you begin to get used to it ond usually enjoy it. It ' s good to have someone to talk over oil of the neuu experiences uue ' re hav- ing. UJe learned that in some uuays your college roommate is closer than your sister. She begins to knouu uuhen you ' re unhappy, uuhen you ' ve been stood up. she shares your teors. and uuhen you get on fl on the test you ' ve studied so hord ' for, she ' s proud of you. In the dorm, there ' s aluuays someone to share your happy times as uuell as your bod. It ' s so handy to have someone uuith a popcorn popper living douun the hall or someone to go get o pizza uuithin o moment ' s notice. ULIe begon to share our experiences uuith one another and uue learned an important lesson, houu to relate to other people. Some of us learned another lesson, .uue learned that some- times you hove to fight for uuhat you believe in. That uuorking hard for something only mokes it more precious uuhen uue finally get it. Many of us hod to uuork hard to stoy in school ond at times uue uuould stop ond think, Is it uuorth all this studying, oil this money?- ' - ' For a feuu of us, the ansuuer uuas no. But most of us soid, Yes! It ' s uuorth it to me. I ' ll uuork harder if I have to, I ' ll study more, but this is o greot time in my life and it ' s uuorth It! (tont. on poo. °) Introduction
