Reflective Essay:


Thinking Twice About leaving away for College


When summer ends , for college to start my new career as a freshman in a total new city and new people

The new experience is exiting , makes my adrenaline really high, is kind of scary and not having any friends or relatives around specially my parents is more something you want to reflect and think about for a while or as much as you can, it involves economic decisions as well as your feelings leaving your dog, your best friends, family and parents won't be easy.

When you think going away for college is the most exiting thing in your life, think twice reflect first, is making decisions that are sometimes not as wise as they might seem. There are plenty of choices like community colleges or universities, also online now days people can do almost anything without leaving their home, homeschooling or online classes are now one of the most common choices.

people don`t rush anymore to go to the market or to school they just order online or login to virtual classes. There has been cases where the student is so lost when they went away for college, with no friends or relatives around, the total new city and new people , can be really stressful some teens have wanted to commit suicide because they want to go back home, but they are afraid of what parents or family are gonna say or think, that they end up staying in strange place, and into a career they don`t really want which later on is worst because the consequences can even be fatal. not everything is so bad there have very successful stories more than bad ones, for example the teen in time gets used to the new town, new people and career once graduated.

The once teen is now a grown-up man with a new career has made as many friends and met as many people as he could the town is not an strange city anymore and he`s ready to form a new family of his own, leaving behind the past no more parents or the old pet left home as a teen, there are gonna be new family members, new pets, and the most wanted dream house with the dreamed garden and pool for the kids. In conclusion what the main idea is to reflect or think twice about making any big decisions in your life, they are sometimes irreversible and sometimes it can only be a one time decision , but is can affect a persons life forever.

When it comes to making a big decision in your life like going away for college to a new city or town with no relatives or friends around , just take a moment and reflect about the pros and cos of going away. some people might say just go is college you`ll be okay, some people are more stringer than others, some can be alone with no one they know around , some people are not that strong they can get very stressed or depressed, so just becareful, when you make big decisions in your life, Reflection a little of what you can and can not do or are not able to do in your life.
