Coping With Change

Coping with change is a very important aspect in many people’s lives. If others do not learn to cope with their changes, it can be very disastrous. A change that I experienced and had to cope with recently was adjusting between the high school and college atmospheres. High school is very different from college. The main changes in between the two are the responsibilities one has as a student. You are no longer under parental supervision and you have to do things on your own. This can include anything from waking up in the morning, to feeding yourself and keeping a healthy diet. Along with the basic necessities of life and what is expected you to do, you also have to keep your school work a priority. With school every day, and if you play a sport, life can be somewhat stressful. I play baseball. So, as a result, I have to be very thrifty with my time. With being an athlete comes even more responsibilities. You have to eat 3-4 times a day. You have to pay attention to the weather, so that you do not catch yourself getting sick. If you have an injury, you have to schedule appointments to help make yourself better. All of these things, one must master and achieve to be successful.
So, coping with change is a very important of your life. I feel that I have done well coping with the transfer from high school to college. Though, I do feel that I can do better.
