#SlugStories “Hi. I’m roxy_1207. So, after a week of traveling here and there, I’ve finally returned home and it just hit me! This is it! After navigating the complex university system for years, this ESL student that heard many times — ‘You’re not going to make it’ or ‘Girl, just go back to your country’ — actually made it through college and graduated with honors! College was definitely a rollercoaster with some monsters along the way….but I definitely have to say that I was able to finish this ride thanks to:
My hero and role model, AKA my dad
My best friends squvidu and dianaa_luz
My freshman year mentor kimzzz14
And last but not least my philosophy squad: Andreas, Adam, itskyyyle, db.luibara, platypus_mundus_imaginalis, lifewithelexi and _galva7.”
