College and Family

When I left for college I was unsure how it would effect my relationships with my parents and older siblings. I had experienced a lot of distance from my brothers when they went to college and noticed the distance that grew between them and my parents as well. I wondered if my college experience would effect my relationship with my parents in the same way. After being at Calvin for almost a year, I have noticed that I have a much more intentional relationship with my parents as well as my brothers than ever before. I succeeded in staying close and up to date with my family throughout my time at college so far and I am hopeful that our close relationships will continue for the rest of my time at Calvin.
