What helped make the transition from high school life to college life easier?
Jonathan: I think my independence and having parents who trusted me and gave me many responsibilities when I was at home did not make me want to rebel or do anything that I knew they would be disappointed about. Also, since I am a people person and make friends easily, it was a very smooth transition. Angela: I suppose I went through a typical transition to college lifea few weeks of homesickness followed by a steady and growing affinity toward learning my own independence and finding myself. The transition was made easier thanks to the upbringing I had from my parents. They taught me to be pretty self-sufficient and independent. Thus, I had many of the skills needed to survive on my own when I reached my college years. Did you find it easy to make new friends? Why or why not? Jonathan: I found it very easy. Part of it was my personality and part of it was that when you are surrounded by genuine people who have very similar beliefsspiritually and morallyyou will become close very quick
