I wish I had realized ?The only possession you own that can never be taken from you is what you carry inside your brains.?

Simone

I wish that I would have known that I am required to be independent. I thought leaving home was perfect. I was soon brought to a reality that ?mom and dad will not be around?, which forced me to make a living and sacrifices on my own. I also wished I would have known that professors are extremely different from high school teachers. College instructors are not constantly reminding you about assignments. You are responsible for keeping track of due dates which is located on the course syllabus, usually given out on the first day of class.
