I know that this final blog is pretty late, which is the first time for me, but I decided to say what ought to be said. I have enjoyed coming to Converse very much. The Orientation week was a big help to me in that it was full of fun and activity, which made me feel a little less shy and self-conscious about doing things. I was able to bond with some people during that time. Music classes and Student Success Seminar put me with a whole new and special group of people whom I grew to value and love. I appreciate all of them very much, and the little things they have taught me. "Suffering" together drew us together, and it made me reach out to them more than I would have if I had gone to a big public college comprised of ten thousand students. Through Converse, I have learned what the real world is like, and what the different kinds of people in the world are. I have also learned to mind what I say, to analyze it and see whether it might be harmful or misconstrued. Also, I have tried to think of others more, and not let them down or refuse them. I have made mistakes, but I have attempted to learn from them and not repeat them. My experiences at Converse have been invaluable, and I will always treasure them.
