So far my experience at Xavier has been a very positive one. I thought this year would go very slow, but I realise now how fast this year went. I have met new people and have made a bunch of new friends. I have had more fun than I had expected when I first came to Xavier. I expected to be overwhelmed with work, but so far I haven't had too much work dropped on me. I tried out for the Xavier swim team and I made it on the team. From there I would go to pracitice three times a week for the team. At first I thought poorly of it because we had to walk 15 blocks to get there from the train I took, but over time it became my favorite paert of the day. I would walk and talk with friends and the walk would seem like it went by in seconds. After the swim season ended I was still very good friends with everyone on the team. I have come to see Xavier as my second home, and I have become very comfortable here. I have become more social and outgoing throughout my time here. I have had a few struggles throughout the year but overall the year has gone by very smoothly, and I had a lot of fun throughout it.
I hope that the rest of my time at Xavier willbe as enjoyable as my first year here. I hope to grow more social and join more clubs and different sports teams. I hope to meet new people and make new friends. I hope that I will be able to keep up my high grades and maybe even do better than this year. I hope that I am able to balance my study time and play time in order to do the best I can in furutre tests and quizzes.
