Reaction

            I honestly found this article very interesting and have a lot of details which converted in experience to Steguer. I also assert that I consider myself, just like Steguer because I have experienced the routine freshman frustration. I clearly remember when I was waiting for a large line just to get registration into my college. Furthermore, this article also clearly remained when I have my schedule of the classes and the classrooms paper direction. It was very frustrated for me because I could not find easily those rooms. I had to ask someone where I can find those rooms. Therefore, I could find them. I also consider myself like Steguer because right now my career as a student depends on a financial aid, just like him, even though my mom has money to support me during my study. I would like to tell him that I know that the next year that will be great, likewise as me because I have learned many things during these two short semesters. What is more, I would like to tell his mom that I am come from Dominican Republic and my mom always say to me that friends come and go, but my family always will be there if I need something no matter what it is.
