a Tuesday night in San Marcos Texas, it is a bit chilly outside as I walk up and down the square looking for a section of bars I can observe. As I walked East on Hopkins street I stumbled upon two bars, Harpers Brick Oven Sports Pub and The Porch. Both bars were packed with what looked like a mix of native San Marcos residents, and college students. These two bars shed light on what the square is; a welcoming place with a carefree atmosphere for all people who call San Marcos home to enjoy. While

I am interested in attending Xavier University because of the location of the school. I know that countless colleges are far more affordable than others, and the acceptance rates are more higher.

Entrepreneurial Skills at Work One of the hardest jobs I have had in life was being an entrepreneur. I was not one of those students who just had a hobby and tried making some extra money; I was a true entrepreneur.

I know naming a service dog Shadow when I was using him due to my blindness was ironic yet it was precisely what he was my constant companion and shadow. The sounds of people in the water playing and other dogs in the area only drove Shadow faster toward the fun. As a blind student
