Coping with Change

Change can be extremely difficult because a person gets used to something, and then has to do something different. Trying something new can be scary and make a person feel very unsure of themselves. Taking risks is something that a lot of people find hard to do and that is sort of what change is. You are taking a risk to do something new. I had a scholarship to play volleyball at a community college about two hours from home. I had all of my stuff packed and ready when I realized that wasn't what I wanted at all. I changed my mind and enrolled at Butler. I knew I had always wanted to be a teacher and Butler was a great place to start. I moved out of my parents house and out on my own. So many things have changed in my life recently and it was very scary. I wasn't sure if I could make it all work, but I took the risk. My parents were nervous for me and so were my friends. I wasn't sure why I made the change, but I felt like I needed to.
