College was a new start all over again. I had to become familiar with the campus by learning my way around to different locations like the library, student center, and my classes. I had a load of heavy books that felt like weights I had to drag along with me in a rolling backpack, that caused me to feel embarrassed my first few days of school. I would no longer have my best friends as my classmates so I had to meet new people to do group assignments and socialize with.

Reflection Essay Cierra Tigard 02/28/2012 Leadership For the last three years I had been dreading taking Leadership class. I had heard that the class was extremely difficult and you had to devote a lot of your hours to planning, brainstorming and setting up for your events. I’ve never really been a leader, I’ve always been more than willing to let another student stand up and take initiave. The first day of class in the Lecture/Drama room I felt like the large amount of students was intimidating, I felt small and out of my comfort zone, it seemed like my plan of waiting to take Leadership when I was an upperclassman did not give me the upper hand like I had hoped. The speech Mrs. Holler had given had placed a heavy weight on my shoulders, my schedule was already so difficult, and I didn’t think that I would be able to be successful with a class that required so much devotion.

When I was eighteen years old I left my mother’s house to attend college. I was so happy that I was going to school but wasn't prepared for change. Being the only girl I had my own room so sharing a small room no bigger than a bathroom it was hard for me to cope with in college. I truly believe that I have experience midlife crisis at a young age. The summer of two thousand and ten was the beginning of the turning points and failure in my life.
What degree should I get? After asking myself these questions, I felt like there was no chance I could get into college and earn a degree that would better my future. Some people may find returning to school a very easy decision but, it takes motivation, determination, and confidence.

When in high school, there was a sense of urgency to get out of the normal routine and head off to college. The reality when college life hit, was a newfound sense of insecurity that I had not felt since the transition from middle school to high school. Students who attend college away from home are faced with even a greater amount of uncertainty.
