Essay #12: Managing Stressful Situations in College
Cecilia Valdes-Brito

As a student transitioning from highschool life to the college environment I would never think it could be very stressful. As a person having very low expectations for community college, I would never think that my life could be complicated by this. I always thought it would be a breeze to go through and that every class would be easy, but I was completely wrong. Everything in life does not come to you easily, unless you are truly not a real person or you must be very intelligent. For me atleast, nothing truly ever comes to me unless I work hard to achieve my goals.

I was always taught as a little girl that I should always work for something that I want because things cannot always be handed to you. It can be hard at times, but once you grasp the concept of working hard for your goals you will understand. Also, when you are working to get somewhere it can be quite stressful at times because things might not go to plan. It can be quite difficult and frustrating at times, but the end goal is so much more rewarding.

If you give up and never try because of stressful situations, then how will you ever know what success is? It always comes with trials and errors, but that is okay because you can always learn from your mistakes. Even if these mistakes make you feel stressed like I do all the time, it can be very enlightening. Managing your stress can be very important, because even though it can be a struggle at times to keep up you have to think about yourself as well and what would be best for your health.
