Just one small group representative of 210 students; these girls are all roommates and will be the entire four years of their college life.The final oral exam assignment: tell about a turning point in your life.
They told stories of:
running away from home
arguing with their parents
being addicted to pills
trying to commit suicide
sorrowing after death of a grandparent whom they had ignored
heartache upon breaking up with boyfriend
being disappointed about not getting into school of their choice
growing up upon entering university
being envious of birth of another child in family
deciding to be a good student and feeling successful
being bullied
death of loved ones
feeling lonely
pressures of college entrance examinations and then pressures of college life
moving away from home
And, all the stories reminded me of the commonality of mankind in growing up.
But, oh, how dear and tender each personal story was as they sincerely opened their hearts.
I will miss them.
