A Written Document of My College Journey

Every college story begins the same way: a young student with a suitcase full of dreams steps into a world of possibilities. But what unfolds within the walls of lecture halls and late-night cafés is far more than textbooks and exams-it is the making of a self.

A Written Document of My College Journey is a deeply personal yet novel-like account of my passage as Winona Alexi Pascua through the trials and triumphs of higher education. From the nervous anticipation of the first day to the bittersweet taste of endings, the narrative traces friendships that leave indelible marks, failures that sting but teach, and victories-small and great-that shape a future.

It is a journey of laughter echoing in crowded dorms, of quiet tears behind closed doors, of wandering through uncertainty only to discover resilience. More than a memoir, this is a story of becoming: the unraveling and rebuilding that every young adult must face when the world demands not just knowledge, but identity.

For anyone who has ever walked the fragile line between who they were and who they are becoming, this document offers not just a reflection, but an invitation-to remember, to feel, and to believe in the transformative power of one's own journey.
