Realizing that your parents are always right is something I struggled with during my transition to college life. No matter how many times your mother tells you to do something, you never seem to listen. I had to learn this lesson the hard way. My mother was always trying to tell me the right way to do something, but of course I always thought that since I was in college my way would be better. But that's not true, she was right most of the time, and I had to learn that the hard way. Just because your parents are strict or don't let you do the things you want to do doesn't mean they hate you. They are just trying to save you from things that might trip you up in life. Now, without even realizing it, I tend to go to my mother when I'm going through a difficult time instead of trying to sort everything out on my own. In conclusion, my transition from high school to college was difficult. I had to learn how to do things the hard way. I also learned that my mother is usually right. Its cuisine will never compare to the food at the lakeside restaurant.
