Going away for college, especially going out of state, was probably the toughest decision I made. Your parents aren't going to be there for you to help, guide or yell at you to do things. You leave your childhood friends behind for a while, who have been with you all your life and been through thick and thin with them. But worst of all, you go away from the home made meals.
Being away from home taught me a lot; never take things for granted. I took being home for granted before I left for Mount Mercy that I taught everything was going to handed to me and was going to be a walk in the park when I arrived to campus. But going through a little adversity here and there, I learned to do what is right and cherish every moment or opportunity giving.
Also, coming home for the holidays makes it that much more special for you and your family when you get to spend time together because there is only a short amount of time until they have to be on their way.
I was browsing the internet today and came across the quote "Everyday is a blessing." It couldn't have been said any better.
I am blessed to have the family that cares so much about me, friends that make memories that last for a life time and teammates that have my back no matter what happens to me.
So take time and care for the ones you love, make memories that'll last for a life time and help each other out whenever trouble calls.
