 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer

An important time in my life has come recently. After being a college student for 8 years, I have finally graduated with my bachelor’s degree. This last semester has been a very special time for me. Many things happened in my last semester of college. I got married a few days before the semester started, and I also found a real job, or should I say a career. …umm…So many new things have happened to me. This time is like no other in my life. It has helped me to grow and prosper. I have many new experiences now because of my wife, my new career, and finally changing my status from student to graduate.
