Our way of life (co nt from page 9) UUe olso learned thot we could listen to other people ' s beliefs without losing our own. UUe real- ized we didn ' t hove to yell the loudest to be heard. UUe learned to listen to both sides of on issue and then to take a stand. For many of us, it was a new experience to discuss current issues with our friends or to talk about God without being embar- rassed. College is o time in our lives for us to try out our wings. UJe ' re in- dependent for the first time, fit times it wos scarey having to make a decision which would affect our entire life, but with each decision we made, our wings became stronger and we flew straighten Once in a while we crashed and rushed back to the nest but soon we ' d get over our mistake and we ' d be flying once more. UUe sometimes marvelled that our parents were so dumb in our teens had suddenly grown wiser and were willing to stand behind any decision we made. UUe grew clos- er to them than ever before and yet we were independent. College is a time when we set aside our parent ' s morals and val- ues and pick our own. Many times they are the same but often they are different. They are not neces- sarily better, but they are our own. They are the values we must live with as we go through life. College is also a time to stop and think, UJhat do I wont to do with my life? UJhat direction do I want to go? Do I believe in abor- tion, my country, the constitution? It ' s a time to find who you are and where you want to go. It ' s a won- derful time of continuous discovery of the world and yourself. It ' s like no other time in your life. It ' s pri- vate and personal and yours to do what you wish. It ' s your life. It ' s your way of life. It ' s college.
