One of the biggest changes that I have had to adjust to is being away from my mom. She has been there for me through a lot, and we used to spend hours together talking. Then, of course, I started going to college along with work, she got into house flipping, and now we hardly see each other at all! This has been extremely hard for me, not having one of my biggest supportive figures around as much anymore, especially since she has been there before I could walk. Not only that, but I am not one to easily accept change. I like to be comfortable and that includes routine and stability. I realize this however, and try to be conscious of change in my life, that way I can be open to it and learn, as well as grow from it. This change also relates to my transition to college, in the sense that I was homeschooled. My mom was my teacher, and when I started at Butler, I went from my mom as my teacher, to different instructors and ways of learning. This change of a completely different environment has caused brief emotional and physical stress in the form of nervousness. After a few classes, however, I have come to find that, in some ways, it’s not that difficult at all. I had more work being homeschooled; the only difference is there are deadlines to make. For all the other new students, it’s a big step going out into the world on their own and breaking away from home, but for me, it’s been an even bigger step.
