7．When I first entered college，I was afraid that I was not"up to it"．I was afraid of being away from my family for the first time．Here I would have to make friends with strange people and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take．Were they smarter than I was？Could I keep up with them？Would they accept me？
I soon learned that my life was now up to me．I had to set a study program if I were to succeed in my courses．I had to regulate the time I spent in my study and socializing．I had to decide when to go to bed，what to eat，and with whom to be friendly．These questions I had to answer for myself．
At first，life was rough．I made mistakes in how I used my time．I also made mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college．Shortly，however，I had my life under control．I managed to get myself to class on time，do my homework and hand them in，and pass my first exams with satisfying grades．In addition，I developed a circle of friends with whom I felt comfortable and could share my fears．I set up my own routine，one that really met my needs．
As a result，I began to look upon myself from a different perspective （視角）．I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family．It felt good to make decisions and see them turn out to be wise ones．I guess this is what people call"growing up"．
What did life have in store for me？At that stage in my life，I was really uncertain where I would go and what I would do with the years ahead of me．But I knew I would be able to handle what was ahead because I had successfully overcome the major problem in my life：I had made the change from a person dependent on his family to a person who was responsible for himself．
