My Experience At Virginia Wealth University

Four months ago I began my journey into college. I was a different person in August when I first arrived at Virginia Commonwealth University. I lacked self-confidence, seriousness, and I lacked the skill of knowing how to be independent. High school came fairly easy to me, so I figured this experience would come just as easy.
