My First Day in America Student’s name: Danilo Capcha Country of Origen: Peru Class: Reading Professor’s Names: M. Martinez People say that their first day in America was bad; however, my first day in America was good. On March 30, 2000, I had just arrived in the America. I will never forget this day because it was the day that I saw the Twin Towers. I will never forget this day because of the new people I met. I was excited to start my new life in America.
I also made life-long friendships, and I am still meeting new people at our meetings that we have during the school year. The summer before my junior year of high school I attended my 10-day residential Junior Conference at Christian Brothers University. Entering the program I had mixed feelings because I was so excited to meet new people, but at the same time I was extremely nervous because I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
HIS/135 Week 4 1960 Diary Entry October 1, 1962 I am so excited, I am in enrolling for my classes at Ole Miss. Today. I am nervous, scared, and excited all at the same time as anyone would that was going off to college for the first time. I am going to be the first in my family to actually attend college and I am proud of myself, and my family is proud of me as well. I am determined to work hard and graduate maybe even with honors that I can sure that I am making a better life for myself as well as for my family.
I had just finished my junior year in high school and my dad got transferred out there for his job. I was pretty stoked even though I knew I’d miss my friends and home town. But a new beginning awaited me and I literally couldn’t wait to experience California! The Ocean, the lifestyle, the women!! So I started my senior year and made tons of friends which I had never had a problem doing.
I am an incoming freshman and also a recruit of Pat Hanlon’s for the 2011-2012 Oswego State Women’s Volleyball team. When making my decision for which college to attend, I was inspired by everything that the team had to offer. The team striked me as so welcoming, they had an enormous amount of chemistry while playing together, and were truly amazing ,enthusiastic individuals. After seeing one game, my decision to attend Suny Oswego was finalized. My mom and I attended a match last fall season and I felt such an amazing vibe from the girls.

One event in my childhood stands out clearly in my memory and become stronger as I grow older. It all started in spring during baseball season. My team, the Trinidad and Tobago’s, was about mid-way through the season, and we were doing well. This is because of all the hard work and practice we had done. All that hard training lead us to a playoff spot against the bears.
The first year you can try out to play for the high school team. I always knew I wanted to play for the high school, so when tryouts began I was extremely nervous. My nerves were magnified by the fact that I did not know a single person there. On the first day of practice, we practiced throwing and hitting so that the coaches could make first round cuts. I remember walking up to the bulletin board after that first day with my hands shaking.
We as a class would go once a week and as a school we would go once a month. That is when my teacher Mrs. Carlin the 4th grade teacher started to really teach us about God and everything dealing with the bible in religion class. I was rather interested in this and right away started grasping what Catholicism was and what being a catholic really meant. All the church up to 8th grade really stuck to me by making me really love my faith. I may have acted out but then again at that age in life who wasn’t a troublemaker at times.
All I had been dreaming about since my senior year started and the only thing I had really been looking forward to. Time to prove to the critics and doubters what we can really do and to show that we could really win. We had maybe five preseason games and two more that we would be playing in Port St. Lucie Florida. The morning of the day we were leaving on was a crazy one. Making sure I had all my clothes packed and all my equipment packed as well.
