Personal Development

These two weeks have been very memorable weeks of my life so far because it was the start of my personal journey without any of my family, Specifically, being a twin it was the first time Iv’e ever been separated from my brother for an extended period of time. Prior to this program, I have spent nearly everyday with my twin brother. Iv’e learned that this new amount of independence is something that I really enjoy and feel that I have gained more assurance through this program. It is a liberating feeling knowing that I am starting my college experience soon and I have so much independence to be the best version of myself everyday.
