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.
