How I have grown what I have learned

Since my first day at Iowa State I have grown a lot. Before coming here I was pretty Independent already but I have become even more so. Now that I am here I do my own laundry, and I fold… most of it. I take care of all my problems; I pay my own bills over the phone and on line. I make appointments for physical therapy and the doctor when I am sick and I contacted teachers when I need help. I have learned, or I have gotten better at balancing fun with study time; I still need to figure out a way to work a job into my schedule.

I have also learned a lot too, sometimes I think it’s too much good thing I only have three and a half years left.
