"THE FEAR"


Unless you’ve been through re-entry, I don’t think you can understand the depths of the struggles it brings. In all honesty, I’m supposed to be writing an 8 page capstone paper right now, but that involves looking back over this past semester, and I’m not really ready to face the fact that it’s over. Because that means I am one step closer to leaving, and one step closer to going home. Don’t get me wrong, I do want to go home; but at the same time, I’m not yet ready to leave my friends and family and life here, and I’m not yet ready to face the difficult process of re-entry. I’m not sure if I’m better off having been through this before so as to know what is to come, or if naivety would be the best for me. Don’t really have a choice though, now do I!
