Chinhu chimwe chete chainge chasara kuti ndiite kwaiva kunyatsoongorora campus. 

Nekuda kwangu, shamwari yangu yepamoyo yakapinda UCSC. Ndakamufonera kuti ndimubvunze kana ndaigona kushanya uye kuona campus. Kungokwira kuenda kuSanta Cruz kwakandipwisa kuti ndiende. Ndinobva kuLos Angeles uye handisati ndamboona zvakasvibira zvakanyanya muhupenyu hwangu.

Iyo campus yaifema uye yakanaka! Ndaida zvose pamusoro pazvo. Muawa yangu yekutanga pacampus ndakaona maruva emusango ari maruva, mabhuru, nemhembwe. LA hazvaigona. Zuva rangu rechipiri pacampus ndakafunga kungoendesa SIR yangu, chirevo changu chekuda kunyoresa. Ndakanyorera kuSummer Academy kuti ndichinjiswe [ikozvino Transfer Edge] munaSeptember uye ndakagamuchirwa. Kunopera kwaGunyana panguva yeChirimo Academy, ndakagamuchira pasuru yangu yerubatsiro rwemari yegore rechikoro uye ndakanyoresa mumakirasi angu ekota yekudonha. Vaperekedzi vezera paSummer Academy vakaita misangano yekubatsira kunzwisisa maitiro uye pindura chero mibvunzo. Handifungi kuti ndingadai ndakagadzirisa zvakanaka pamusasa pasina Summer Academy nokuti ndakakwanisa kuongorora chikoro neguta rakapoteredza pasina huwandu hwevadzidzi. Pakatanga kota yekudonha, ndakaziva nzira yangu yekutenderera, mabhazi ekutora, uye nzira dzese dzakapoteredza kambasi.
