I often find myself marvelling at the buildings lining the streets. It astonishes me how much effort it takes to build all the infrastructure we take for granted in our society. There was a point in time when each building was nothing more than a patch of grass. It takes the cooperation of many teams of people with a multitude of skill sets to make each property a reality.
For many, college is a turning point. Over these next four years, many of my peers will be transformed from young adults into engineers, lawyers, and doctors. With this knowledge comes maturity. Maturity is learned, and it is something that many of my peers do not yet possess. Most of them will learn, others will not. I, however, have already learned this valuable skill. In order to get the most out of my college education, I knew that I had to enter with a mature mindset.
