Discovering something abt myself!

After graduating from highschool I planned to attend college. My mind was set on going to California but my parents thought that was too far so i settled for my second choice: Purdue University. Purdue is located in Indiana but it is only two and a half hours away(not even that far). After I got accepted I asked myfather about our payment method because I was not familiar with the process. He told me he was going to pay for college and not to fill out financial aid, and of course i listened to my father simply because he is my father and I trusted him. When I attended Purdue I was scared at first but I became friends with my roomamtes really quick. weeks went by and I started to get e-mails from the school stating I was taken off the roster because my bill were not paid. I called my father ASap and he told me to " FILL OUT FINANCIAL AID", and I went off. I felt as if the one person I could depend on let me down in the worst way. After the first semester I was kicked out becuase my father did not pay ANYTHING. At first I thought it was a waste of time, but over time I realized it made me stronger and independent.It also brought upon some annoying qualities, because i constantly question people and have trust problems. I believe if I would not have went through that experience I would still act as a teenager and not a young woman. So in a way I'm saying THank You Dad!
