My Monologue

Among the comfortable aspects of college that have stayed the same for me are the more challenging obstacles that I’ve had to overcome. I’ve started to really appreciate the things that have stayed the same: the large number of students, the diversity & I still have the comfort of living at home. But there are also things that have made me step out of my comfort zone. In high school, everyone knows why you’re there. You have to be there. If you cant handle high school, what can you handle? Once I started college, I was forced to ask myself questions that I’ve been trying to put off because of how scary the future seems. What’s the next step? Is what I’m doing now necessary to achieve my ultimate goal? What IS my ultimate goal? It has forced me to grow up and try to understand what truly matters in my life.
