When I was younger I never imagined or even thought about moving out of my house. I was always attached to my parents no matter where we were and how old I was. I guess that is why it was and still is pretty hard for me to take in that I have not only moved out of my parents house but also away from town, exactly 6-8 hours away.
Never imagining me moving away from my parents was hard enough, so imagine after I felt once I graduated high school and was off to college. It was a tough one.
Even though I knew I was going to college abroad for many years before finishing high school it has still been hard. I left a lot back at home, my family, my friends, a boyfriend, and most of all the feeling of being home. Even though it has been the hardest year of my life, and there were times I could have got on a plane and flew home right then, I have grown so much. I have excited that you took a leap and left home to further your studies! Thank you for sharing your story.
ReplyDeleteLike you Kayla Cigarroa, I moved away from my parents when I was fifteen. I know the feeling of sadness. It is not easy but it helped me to rethink what I wanted in life and also helped me to grow. Even though you are attached to your parents, life goes on and everyone at some point has to open their wings and leave. I admire your courage because some children stay home until they marry, and there is nothing wrong with that, but we have to leave home in order to grow.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very hard thing to do I imagine. It is good that you got the chance to grow as an adult for you to be able to experience something like that at what seems a young age. Unlike you I dream of the day i get to walk out of my bedroom for good, although I couldn’t even imagine being two hours much less eight hours away from my family. It must be hard being away from your family but it shows your character to be doing it for good reason.
