I stepped out of my
car, and walked straight to my assigned house. After eight months of waiting the moment had finally
come. I had only heard stories of
ASP so, based off of other peoples’ experiences, I wasn’t entirely sure what to
expect. As I looked at the large
brick building in front of me, little did I know that that place would change
my entire life. After five weeks,
the stories that I had heard before I started ASP had come true. I had been challenged beyond my limits
and the friendships that I made were irreplaceable. The students, faculty, and campus that surrounded me, were
like no other I had encountered before.
Those in my class, enthusiastic, funny, cheerful, and brilliant, helped
me strive for my potential in all aspects. We had pushed each other in class discussions, group
projects, and outside study hour sessions. We had become a family and I had learned to love those
people as my family. We all had
our differences, but yet we had one common similarity, the desire to
learn. We came up with numerous
nicknames and jokes that were unique to our class and will remain with us
forever. Although it was only five
weeks, I felt as if I had known these people from birth. ASP has given all of us something that
no other place could have, a unique community that we all cherish and will
remember forever.
