Carol: Well, I went away to college when I was seventeen. I’d never lived away from my parents before, and I was really looking forward to it. But I was also scared because I was leaving my friends behind, and I didn’t know anyone when I first arrived. I lived in a really big dormitory and shared a room with two other girls. I guess the thing I learned the most was how to get along with other- you know, how to respect other people’s opinions and property- stuff like that. At home I’d always had my own room. This was the first time I’d had to live with other people in the same room.
We were all really different-I mean, our personalities and lifestyles were completely opposite in some ways! Anyway, at first it really caused problems, but we learned how to get along living in those tight quarters. Three seventeen-year-olds living in one room- can you imagine? I’m surprised we survived it at all.
Michael: I think, for myself, the hardest thing was learning how to manage my owe time better. I used to stay up late watching TV a lot, didn’t eat well, often went to class unprepared, and things liked that. My grades were really suffering, and I could hardly keep my eyes open in class! It was a drag! Somehow, midway through the semester, I changed and started to do well.
Organizing my time was a real challenge. In high school, I didn’t have to worry- I had the same schedule every day, and at night my parents were pushing me to study. But it’s different when you go away to college. You have to learn to take responsibility for your actions. No one is going to tell you what to do. You have to figure it out yourself.
Frank: I’m having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we’re so smart- that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the textbook confusing, and then I get discouraged. Well, some of us got together and formed a study group. It seems to work ok most of the time- we compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He’ll forget his notes or he won’t have read the book beforehand. That really bothers and I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have hard time on the final exam.
Regina: I’m trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of embarrassing- most of the other kids have already picked it up, and I just can’t get it. There’s this software manual at school- I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There was simply too much information for me to remember. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I’m not sure that what to do next.
Sonia: I’m going to France next summer, so I want to learn as much French as I can. So, I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see, it’s supposed to be beginning –level class- no way! I’m telling you, most of the person in there- they already knew how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basic conversation phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am complete beginner! I did not know one word of French when I started this class! So I always feel lost- even from day one, I had no idea what was going on. Now, the teacher is nice, but he’s not very good! He gets off the topic, and he’ll get stuck on some tiny, little point for like
half an hour a time. But I really shouldn’t complain because after all, this class is free!
