He suddenly shows up with roses one day and expects all to be forgotten and forgiven. The presumed child does not want to forgive

Visiting the campus of Rollins College for the first time can leave a memorable impression on a person. Every corner of the campus is literally built with valuable memories dating back generations upon generations. Speaking from personal experience, looking around and taking in all of what the college has to offer has left a lingering impression. As a fairly new student, I am amazed as to how much I have yet to discover, explore and learn about my new college. The first time I set foot at Rollins
