Being a military child‚ I’ve made a few big moves during very important stages in my life. Before elementary school started‚ I moved away from all of family in South River‚ New Jersey to live in Augusta‚ Georgia. At the beginning of 6th grade‚ I made the biggest move of my life to Vicenza‚ Italy. Three years later‚ during my first few months as a freshman in high school‚ I moved right back to Augusta.

died. I got in a life-threatening car accident. My seatbelt saved my life. If I didn’t have my seatbelt on when I wrecked I would be dead even with medical attention. I swerved to prevent a wreck between the black suv‚ the other car involved in the accident at fault‚ and myself by swerving.

When I first stepped foot on SUNY Oneonta’s campus‚ I was extremely nervous and scared. My parents kept telling me‚ “College is supposed to be the best four years of your life.” However‚ at that point in time‚ I didn’t necessarily agree with them.
