They have remained an important part of my life in the last three years, but they have let me make my own decisions and mistakes. This has allowed me to grow with confidence in myself and my abilities. But, of course, nothing that means growing and changing is ever easy. Sometimes my parents forget that many years have passed since those simple days. Their natural tendency is to reach out and fix whatever is wrong.
College is filled with joyful memories and amazing opportunities.
But it can also be miserable and lonely. It is hard for my parents to watch me go through difficult times, and there have been plenty of them. Sometimes it is frustrating for me to explain why I need to figure out things for myself. But my parents have tried hard, and whether they know it or not, I have recently realized how much I appreciate that effort. Each year has represented a kind of milestone on our chosen journeys, bringing amazing experiences and lessons.
