Torice Pg 1 #2 The first mantra I will use is the one that goes, no risk no gain.

The experience that I had this semester that has to do with this mantra was on Thursday July 30th and it was my boyfriend’s cousin Winston birthday who invited me to join them at the Auld Shebeen club in Fairfax, VA.

As a little girl college had always been the dream. For the obvious reasons of getting a good education, finding a job, and making money. As I matured my reasons for attending college became more complex. Things at home were never very good and most of time I usually found myself held prisoner in the house. Exploring the world and

We all have our problems in life, whether it’s lack of friends, food, or even money. That’s one thing that makes us all similar. We’re all struggling in some way or another. What’s important is that us human beings are all here to help each other. That makes handling our problems much easier, right? Wrong. It may seem trivial, but my crisis is identity.

Doing my first experience of changing a tire it was not that easy as it sound because it took some strength and muscles to pick up the tire and exchange it for the spare.

The night before I thought about just saying I went to a meeting and watching one on Youtube. This idea gave me more anxiety than actually going. I set my alarm for 6am to make it to the 7am-8am meeting at Narragansett Town Beach. My friend was over the night before and he also grew up in Narragansett and lived here for 30 years as well.
