Moving my bags with the help of my parents, I was overcome by a multitude of conflicting emotions as I was about to begin this new chapter in my life. As I walked into room 312 ,Kolej Tun Dr Ismail, I was immediately greeted with open arms from my roommate; this comforting act erased all my fears and unanswered questions about this new home of my mine.
This few months has been an adventure I had never experienced. I thought with all the freedom and independence, it would negatively affect me and my maturity level, but the opposite happened.
Beingalone in an unfamiliar setting forced me to go outside my comfort zone. Not only did I learn how to rely on individuals I wasn’t fully comfortable around, but I also had to understand the importance of independence and making my own decisions without any outside insight.
While yes, at first this adaption didn’t naturally click with me, it did take some time and effort. There were nights where all I wanted to do was go home and see my family and old friends.
But, I didn’t let myself.
I understood the importance of this independence and forced myself to adjust to it, rather than hide and avoid it. Wow, what a difference and impact it made in my life. A couple months later, I never considered going home. I never wanted to leave school and the relationships I had made here.
