Moving away for college had always been a dream for me. However, my parents were not keen to that dream. I am a first generation college student, and the youngest in my family. Moving away for college was possibly one of my parents’ worst nightmare. Growing up near a college town, my parents hoped that moving away would not be necessary. However, for my desired major, moving away was the only option. Throughout my college search, my personal choices were leading me out of state. While moving away was going to be hard for my parents, moving across the country would be even harder. When I finally chose OU, the news was a relief for my parents. My parents were not very fond of me moving five hours away, but they would take that over me
