College-A Transition Point in My Life
When I first entered college as a freshman,I was afraid that I was not able to do well in my studies .I was afraid of being off by myself,away from my family for the first time.Here I was surrounded by people I did not know and who did not know me.I would have to make friends with them and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take.Were they smarter than I was?Could I keep up with them?Would they accept me?
I soon learned that my life was now up to me.I had to set a study program if I wanted to succeed in my course.I had to regulate the time I spent studying and the time I spent socializing.I had to decide when to go to bed,when and what to eat,when and what to drink,and with whom to be friendly.These questions I had to answer for myself.
At first,life was a bit difficult.I made mistakes in how I used my time .I spent too much time making friends.I also made some mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college.
Shortly,however,I had my life under control.I managed to go to class on time,do my first assignments and hand them in,and pass my first exams with fairly good grades.In addition,I made a few friends with whom I felt comfortable and with whom I could share my fears.I set up a routine that was really my own – a routine that met my needs.
As a result,I began to look upon myself from a different perspective.I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family.It felt good to make my own decisions and see those decisions turn out to be wise ones.I guess that this is all part of what people call “growing up.“
What did life have in store for me?At that stage in my life,I really was not certain where I would ultimately go in life and what I would do with the years ahead of me.But I knew that I would be able to handle what was ahead because I had successfully jumped this important hurdle in my life; I had made the transition from a person dependent on my family for emotional support to a person who was responsible for myself.
