Explanation:
My First Time Away From Home" Leaving to go to college was my very first time away from home, and it took a lot of adjusting to a new surrounding. I didn't have my mom right by my side anymore and I needed to become more independent on doing things on my own. Adjusting to a new city, community, and school was a challenge because I was used to being in my own city, with my old friends, at my old school. I often got homesick and wanted to go home, but I soon adjusted. At first when I originally started taking about getting out of the house, and going to school I didn't realize that it would take so much adjusting. I'm used to having my own room at home, but when I went away to college I had to share a room with a total stranger.…show more content…
I feel that my mom has spoiled me by doing laundry for me up to now, but I am now independent for having to do it on my own. Moving to Austin was a major change in my life because I had no family or friends here; they were all in San Antonio. My friends and I would walk downtown on the river walk just to have a nice time. It was the hang out, and I just knew that Austin didn't have anything that could compare. I would often get homesick because I missed my family so much. San Antonio is only an hour away from Austin so it was easy for me to make the trip back home. I missed home so much that I have gone back home every single weekend since I have been in college. I had started to get used to being in another city, and away from my family. Actually, I gained new friends in Austin and have heard that 6th street may be just as nice as the river walk in San Antonio. It doesn't hurt to open up to new experiences. It took a while to get adjusted to my new college life, and being away from home but I finally feel comfortable. I have made new friends and enjoyed my freedom, of not having my mom over my shoulder watching every move, but on the other hand I miss her so much that I go home every weekend. This experience has changed me for the better.
