Part I.

Write a paragraph of 300 words telling about your experiences in the last five (5) years

Five years ago, I was starting a new stage in my life. Leaving high school marked the end of
an era and the beginning of an exciting college adventure. I remember the mix of
nervousness and excitement as I said goodbye to lifelong friends and embarked on a
journey into the University.

College was a whole different world. Challenging classes, new friend and the freedom to
explore my own interests marked the beginning of this new phase. I discovered my study
technique, immersed myself in exciting academic projects and, as the semesters
progressed, experienced personal growth I never imagined.

The friendships I formed in college became a cornerstone of my life. Together we faced

stressful exams, celebrated small accomplishments, and supported each other through
difficult times. College was not only a place of academic learning, but also a school of life
where lessons were learned both inside and outside the classroom.

The early years of college also marked the beginning of my independence. Learning to
manage the balance between studies, work and social life was a challenge. I experienced
the freedom to make my own decisions and learn from the consequences. I made
mistakes, but each one was a valuable lesson that contributed to my personal
development.

During this period, I also had the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities,
from student clubs to cultural events. Each experience broadened my perspective and
allowed me to meet people with different backgrounds and points of view.

Today, as I reflect on those years, I see the journey from high school to college as a roller
coaster of emotions and discoveries. Although I faced challenges, the lessons learned and
friendships forged have left an indelible mark on my life. Now, I am filled with gratitude
for all the experiences that have shaped these past years, preparing me for the challenges
and joys that the future may bring.
