Excerpt
The telephone woke me up at 10:30 on Saturday morning. It was my anxious parents, wanting to hear all about what was going on in college. As I told them about classes, parties, and life in the dorm, I was struck by the differences between high school and college. When I made the move from high school to college, I lost the privacy and luxury I had enjoyed at home. I gained, instead, more freedom and responsibility. Both the loss and the gain I now see as necessary dimensions to my rite of passage into adulthood.
