Leaving home is one thing that has never really scared me. When I was younger I never got homesick or missed my family when I left overnight or even for longer periods of time. Vermilion is a great town with a lot to offer. Lakeland College has a lot to offer and it has a couple different courses that I would be interested in. However, I really want to get out of town after high school. I’ve always been very independent and strive for the opportunity to make my own decisions and I feel like even if I were to move away from home just to go a few miles into town it wouldn’t feel like I actually “left.” Sure there would be a lot I would have to learn but I am confident that I would figure it out before too long. I have a personal saying that I live by, “If something is worth stressing about, do something about it! If there is nothing you can do about it then stop worrying because there is nothing you can do!”
