This weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Arizona for lacrosse. Traveling without parents helped me get a feel for life after high school. I learned of the responsibilities that come from not being taken care of all the time, or having an adult watching over you. Rather I got to feel how independent college students feel and how much responsibility comes from completing taking care of yourself. In the summer I also traveled to Maryland, Pennsylvania and Colorado without my parents for lacrosse. Initially the trips are exciting and it feels adventurous being hundreds of miles away from home. However, as the trips progress I learned and grew from the responsibilities that come with not being completely taken care of. The trip this weekend especially held a lot of responsibility, for I am a senior and there are freshman, sophomores, and juniors on our team that look up to the upperclassmen for advice and leadership. As I traveled by myself to Arizona this weekend, I got a little peak into what college life may be like and through my experiences I have gained responsibilities that will help me in the next part of my life.
