My time at The College of New Jersey By: Tammy Kaplowitz
The College of New Jersey is a place where I feel safe and accepted for who I am. When I am there I have the support of others, to help me keep an optimistic outlook on life. It increases my self-esteem to know that there is a place I can come learn and feel good about it. As the years have passed I have grown more mature and independent, all due to the never ending support provided by my friends at TCNJ. The College of New Jersey has given me more freedom to be myself and not worry about what others think of me.
I have learned so much since the first day I set foot on this campus freshman year I have been through a lot of rough times in my life, but I must say without The College of New Jersey I would not be where I am today, proud and ecstatic to have a long and fulfilling life. Now that I am on my way out into the real world, I feel like there is nothing more to say than, “Thank you TCNJ.” Thank you for being there for me through the good times and the bad.
In a way I feel like I am losing an old friend, a very good old friend who I have always depended on to lead me in the right direction in my time of confusion and misunderstanding. Things will not be the same without The College of New Jersey in my life. I love you TCNJ.
