My life took a major turning point during these years from 1997 to 2007. These years drastically changed my life, for what I am today that I thought before during my teenage years. Remembering those years gives me a sense of joy and happiness and a sense of satisfaction in completing and achieving few steps in life considered to be important. From 1997 to 2000 were my days in college. At first I felt very difficult to adjust to the surrounding, but when I started making friends the life was much better and stress free.
