My Friends

When I came from Puerto Rico to Dayton, Ohio, I did not know much of the Puerto Ricans that were coming to the university. In the first few days in New Students Orientation, I got to meet the 13 freshmen that are from Puerto Rico. It’s been 3 months since we meet and we are so close already. The girls have become super close friends of mine, and so some of the boys too. Leeha, Ana, Estela, Pino, and Maru are five of the girls that are really close friends of mine. I met 3 of them here at the University of Dayton. I had already met the other two girls because they studied with me in high school. Jaime, Fernando, Jon, and Anthuan are the four boys which I’m really friends with. The four of them are so funny and so nice. Usually, when my friends and I are bored, we play board games or go for walks. Last Saturday we went to Brown Street and ate at a place called “Butter”. We had breakfast and had a blast there. Having close friends is something important every person should have. Friends make you feel happy and safe. The University of Dayton definitely has the best students. I have met so many people in the past 3 months and I love it. Also, I cannot wait for the remaining 2 months of this semester. I am super excited to go back home, but I also like staying here. Therefore, I have made so many good friends here at the University of Dayton.
