Independence of Student in University Life

Independence of educatee in University Life Away from home, a rather simple and common phrase that is no stranger to most of the university students whom be learninging overseas. Since young, as a child, we were living under the shades of our p bents, handled with shell out in their hands. For them, we are as precious as diamonds, being protected under their wings and non k immediatelying how the world look kindred because everything had been done for us by the bang of our parents. Even when paradox strikes, parents entrust definitely be the first to stand up for us and solve these difficulties without having us as children worry about it.Most of us are growing up in this protected environment we are almost immune from the threats of the world. Bad news is, one solar day, you pull up stakes bugger off to leave that comfort partition and explore what the world has for you. That day will come when students are at the age of extending their studies in the overseas. No matte r which university they are waiver, they would non be able to bring their parents along. They will hit to learn to be independent and know how to take cope of themselves. It is a journey of life which most of us have to go through.Some may say that university life is a sign of torture because you are leaving your love ones behind, hardly mostly it is a process of life that helps gain our confidence towards society and let us be independent and responsible. Many find it hard to achieve independence because most are embossed in a perfect environment, which our parents have kindly built for us. beingness independent is where you must have self-confident and such belief in yourself that you can achieve anything you have intent to get.Some people are emotionally dependent to their parents. Well, it is not a fault to depend on your parents because they will never clue you wrong and they love you very much. However, sooner or later, you will realize that they will not be there fore ver whenever you need them because flower withers and human perishes, one must not drop dead overly attached or dependent on their parents but instead exercise self-contained and self-sufficient. Being independent does not mean that you have to abandon your friends and family and draw a line in between.You will still need someone to talk to during tough times and solve issues that you could not settle on your induce. Parents and friends are the pillars that support you, even if they could not help you, they will certainly lend you listening ears, to catch you out whenever you need someone. This is normal as we are only human. As students walk into the world, they will typesetters case new things that they had never exposed to. Since they are the newbies of the world, it will be difficult for them to differentiate what is right and what is wrong, they will tend to try anything that seems new to them out of curiosity.Therefore, these overseas students must be strong in their stand s and not easily swayed by negative activities such as smoking, drugs, vandalism and so on. The activities that they are participating now will definitely be an influence to their future. A wrong shade might lead to a narrow or dim future. At this point, it will be the time to reap what our parents have seed into us to see how much we have absorbed from their teaching and hopefully the roots of it grows deep in us to avoid temptations of life.In order to allow readers to visualize the big picture more clearly, I had personally interviewed 2 students whom are around school leaving age. A hospitality student, Clement Chai, whom is currently 19 years old stated that, Well, before coming over to Singapore, my parents already taught me day by day on how to be independent. Basically living with them is already preparing me to live independently. Another student that I had interviewed was a Korean student, Yee Won Chan. The 18-year-old enthusiastically mentioned that, In such a modern country like Korea, I helped myself to be very independent by nurture and memorizing directions.This has helped me a lot whenever I went overseas. I would never miss my school bus as I would always use the right lane to get to the bus station and memorizing would always get me back home before the last train. I wouldnt stress myself too much as I know it would only trouble me and so I took things simple and have a simple life at home. Based on the preceding(prenominal) interviews, we can determine that learning to be independent is where the parents must learn to let go of their children and letting them make their own decisions as how Clement Chai has stated previously.This in a way will translate the kids that different decisions will lead to different consequences and they will have to learn from it. This is all part of the learning process of being independent. A child has to learn that mum and dad are not going to be always there for you. Hence, at one point, they will have to rely on their own abilities to achieve their own goals and for that to happen, parents need to allow kids to experience the real world that they arent always there to countersink the problem.Nevertheless, some people might still live with their parents after finishing university, but university is a step forward which will allow them to learn how to be on their own so to say. For example, managing finances, taking care of the car, making sure to have sufficient food and so on. In a nutshell, university is indeed a platform and also a battleground to train students to become more independent. There may be tough times where these students might not be able to have things done on their own. A true testimony will be from me personally, I lived in Kota Kinabalu but for a better study environment, I have to come to Kuala Lumpur.What strikes me the most is the fear of leaving home. My parents used to do everything for me and I did not know how it is like to be out there in the world. But now when I flavour problem, there is nobody there anymore to help me out. In this situation, I have learned to be independent, doing my own chores, solving problems, save money, and also cook my own meal. It is not easy doing all these but one thing for sure, this has turn me into a strong girl who is able to face the society with military force and confident.
