Struggling to go to School

Coming to college was one of the biggest struggles I have ever gone thru. Leaving your house, family, friends and the people you love is one of the hardest things you could do. Seen tears in your mothers and fathers eyes as they see you walk away, breaks your heart into billions of pieces. Starting from scratch in a strange place full of millions of people, and not knowing a single one of them. Paying for college; signing your life in debts with bank. These are some struggles that I had and is still going thru till these day.

Leaving my family was one of the biggest challenges I have ever had. The unity with my family is very sincere and very close .I have never left the family circle, so I wasn’t use to, not having their presence around me .I still remember that very first day when my parents dropped me off at school on Saturday night when it was time for them to leave, they didn’t, but they had to and as they saw me walk away tears of sorrow came down their eyes. Seen their mixed emotions and mine crashing together made things harder for me I ended up been homesick for weeks.

Starting from the beginning not knowing a single person in a huge city makes you feel inferior to everything. You have a feeling of ignorance of not knowing your way around, knowing the basic structure of how the city is. Getting used to the fact that you don’t live in a small village anymore, and that now you take part in very well known city. It breaks your heart, because you leave your traditions behind to start a diverse of them in your path. Meeting new people, when cultures, rules, environment taking the opportunity of getting to do things that you didn’t do before.

Another struggle that I had was finding a way to pay my college education. Once you sign the contract that your coming to an expensive school gets you thinking of what you need to do in order to play your way thru. Since you’re a recent high school graduate your teachers counsel you to not get loans .So when you don’t have any other choice, but to take out some loans it get you thinking of how you’re going to pay it back. Therefore many of us students don’t have the guidance to make those choices in college so we face a major problem, because at the end there’s always some type of misunderstanding or problem.

Saying good byes to friends, family, traditions, and the way of lifestyles were my major struggle when I came to college. I didn’t have no experience of live on my own I learned several things here in college it made me a better person .It open many doors for me as and for my siblings, I am the experiment in other words. I’m going thru different types of stages to get everybody aware of how things are in some other place while your attending college. Life is about making sacrifices are family friends, and debt, but at the end it will be all worth it because life is about learning about your struggles.
