Abstract | In this article, the author relates his experiences as a second-time college freshman at St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland. The author is a college president over the age of 50. He was also a melanoma cancer survivor who had underwent a lung surgery and chemotherapy four summers earlier. Chris Nelson, president of St. John's, had agreed to let him enter their institution as a freshman so that he could write about the first-year experience from a student's perspective. One of the author's unforgettable experiences at St. John's was his participation at a race on the Occoquan Reservoir. His victory at Occoquan has made him reflect on a lot of things in his life. He realized that even in his sixties, he could grow into a different person. (ERIC). |
