Starting Over...

Starting Over...

James Simmons · Friday, August 5th 2005 at 2:24PM · 351 views
In high school, I created an identity for myself throughout the four years. Now I have to start all over again in college, where no one knows my past and hopefully wants to know me in the future. Is it a good thing that they don't know my past? In some cases it is. I have had practice starting over for the simple fact that my parents are in the military. But now I am entering a more mature environment and not sure how it is going to work out. I might have had practice starting over, but I still hate doing it. Does anybody else feel that starting over is one of the hardest things of college life?

Starting over is hard a majority of the time, but moving to this next level of maturity means you have to be more mature about the change. Your 1st semester is important to the development of your college character. How you act, and mostly your actions will say a lot about you as a person. Make sure you dont do anything you'll regret when you get into college...I'm sure you wont!
This fresh start is needed because you get to show your personality and gain more maturity in moving on to adulthood.
