Residentency Halls on Rockhurst University's campus do not allow for people to keep pets in their dorm rooms, (with fish being an exception). In order to comply with this rule but still have something to care for I decided to bring a plant with me to college. This plant and I go back a long way, over two years, to a hospital reception party where I took him from the centerpiece of the table. Luckily he needs only a limited amount of sunlight to survive, otherwise he probably would have perished living in my room all alone over Christmas break. When I got back after break, my plant looked rather sickly and I immediately began the revival process of watering and giving small doses of limited sunlight. I believe he is on the fast track to recovery, and even managed to sprout two new leaves out of the top. I'm not sure what this next semester holds in store for me, but I hope that I can persevere and flourish the way my plant has in the face of adversity.
