MY MY FIRST DAY FIRST DAY
AT AT COLLEGECOLLEGE
INTROINTRODo you remember
your first day in the university? Well, I remember my first
day I was waiting all the summer to enter at the university. I felt excited and at
the same time I was very nervous
because it was my first day in the university and I didn't know any
person. My first day in the university was
good.
.
CLOSURECLOSURE
I am always going to remember that day because I had the
opportunity to meet more people and the most important I met the best friends that
I have ever had. Finally, I think that it is natural that on the
first day we feel nervous, but the
things always have a happy ending, that's
why I say that my first day in the
university was very good.
