There have been a lot of changes recently in my life and in my opinion I have coped very well. For 18 years I lived under my parents’ roof and have had to live according to their rules. Also, I was able to see my family friends every day, and now the people closest to me are three hours away. I am here all alone to cope. I have managed by talking on the phone, making extra trips home and opening up to my roommate. I have to make an extra effort to talk to people I don’t know because I’ve always talked to the same people. I find when I do open up, people are very nice and are wiling to be my friends. Basically, I just remind myself to be more outgoing and know that I can handle the distance because of the friends I can make here.
Even though I sometimes don’t like this change it is obvious that it had to occur. I never would’ve wanted to stay living with my parents, but this change has made me realize how much I like my hometown. For as long as I can remember I was dying to get out of Sabetha and now that I am out, I've found I wouldn’t mind going back. High school was a lot easier than college because the classes were easier. In high school I wasn't to worried about my education and now that I’m in college and am paying for my education, I take it more seriously. The biggest change though was going out on my own. It is fun for the most part, but when a girl who's mom took very good care of her is shopping for groceries, toilet paper and the necessities she realizes a change has occurred.
