WSU

By the end of 1979, Ernesto had finally settled into life in college, away from home. His brother, Juan, was an engineering senior living in dorm 4A. Dorm 4A was directly adjacent to the freshman dorm and, in his first few months at WSU, Ernesto spent as much time in his kuya’s dorm as he could. He felt more at ease there, Juan’s friends treated him like a kid brother, and he learned a lot about college life from watching them go about doing things university men did. Now, with Juan graduating in a few months’ time, he felt that finding his stride in school was a rather fortunate occurrence--now that he had to fend for himself.
