Many teenagers assume that they have reached the pinnacle of growth upon their high school graduation; they have determined that they no longer have to answer to anyone as they are now 18 with a high school diploma.
Obvious to the parents, their child still has years of growing up to do, and no years are as vital as those spent in college.
For most incoming college freshman, they have never completely ventured outside of their community for any extended period of time, and college offers them the unique opportunity to debate with people who hold different beliefs and ideals.
The course of four years is vital towards the maturation that is essential to growing up and college serves to expedite this process more than you would experience otherwise.
Deciding on continuing your education is an important stage in your life, in which you have taken it upon yourself to increase your standing in life and promote knowledge and growth.
Attending college is much more difficult in high school, but given this economy, it has become vital in securing a job.
Many students enter college not really knowing what to expect, but the first few weeks serve to open up many doors. These first weeks are important in causing you to mature faster than you had to previously because you have to learn how to survive without your parents as well as how to balance school and having fun.
The time of curfews is gone, and now that you are on your own to determine what you need to cut back on, you are presented with an interesting dilemma as to whether or not you are able to do both.
The first year is interesting because you learn what boundaries you can reach in completing schoolwork and having a social life; the first year is additionally full of challenges and growth which is an important quality to hold onto throughout your life.
By your second year, you should be well aware as to how often you can go out during the week, how much money you can spend, and how much time you should devote to doing homework.
The ability to develop your own schedule and stick to completing your work daily is an important sign of growing up. Now you are aware that choices you make now can impact any decisions you may have to make in the future.
While college is not the end-all, be-all of your life, it is important in allowing you to grow in a manner which you were unable and not mature enough to experience earlier in life.
By the time you graduate, you should have undergone massive changes in the way you perceive the world; the many debates which you have in your classes help to cement the ideals you currently will hold onto and the campus forum is open enough to allow you to change your positions time and again.
This time serves as an opening step into the real world which you are forced out into upon graduation and adequately prepares you for this next step in life in a way that is unparalleled.
