New phase in my life

The time I have been waiting for is finally here. I think I have always dreamed of going to college. Since I was little, I knew that my goal in life was to study and enroll into a good college. 

Now that the moment has come, it has made me realize that going to college is not all happiness. I am very close with my family and the idea of leaving and not seeing them everyday makes me sad. I am the type of daughter that would sit with their parents, after school and after work and see how our day went. This is something I will miss. 

I am also the big sister. My sisters would always come to me when they need something or tell me something that they don’t want mom to know. When there is a problem between mom and dad, I am the one that distracts my sisters from watching them discuss. I have always been there for them. 

Leaving is definitely harder than what I thought. However, I know this is the best for me. This will make me the person I have always wanted to be. My parents will be happy too, which is the reason I live for; watch my parents being happy and proud of me. 

My application process is going great. I have finally been able to shorten my list of countries. Now I only need to shorten my list of schools and I will be ready to apply by the end of the month. I am very excited. 

This process has made me grow in a way that I have realized that I am an adult now, and that I am the one that needs to make the final decisions. My parents are only there to support and advisor me. But at the end of the day, I am the one that has to decide everything. I feel like this experience has made me mature a lot when it comes to making decisions. I am now able to analyze and process a lot of information in order to make the best decision. 

I know the hardest moment is not now, it will be the waiting process. Especially because I am  a very impatient person. But I know everything will go as planned. If there are any updates, which they will pretty soon. I will do another entry, hopefully with good news.
