Laura and Christa talked a bit about how they enjoy working with college-aged young adults who are developing independence and starting to explore themselves and their interests for the first time. I have been experiencing this first hand. When I came to college I didn’t really expect just how much I would learn, how hard I would work, or how my interests would diverge. My parents gave me a lot of independence when I was in high school and I didn’t really expect there to be much of a transition. But when I got to college I was surprised by being on my own. My parents had given be independence in terms of not placing a lot of restrictions on me, but this was the first time that I was really acting as my own person and looking at my own interests. Just being in a new environment where I wasn’t talking to them as frequently made me realize that I might not be the same person that I had imagined myself to be in high school.
