Making Connections #2
Thomas Wolfe quoted "you can't go home again". Now for many people that may be true. In "Abandoned but Not Alone" by Thomas Oliphant the kids in that article physically cannot go home again. Their parents have kicked them out and practically disowned them for being gay. Those are the kids who can't go home again. This quotation can also apply to the choices students make on where to attend college. If it's far enough most kids barely get to go home and see their family. As for me I am only two and a half hours away from my home. I can't go home anytime I want but I am close enough for if I want to go home it’s only a couple hours out of reach. I wouldn’t like being too far away from my home because I enjoy seeing my family every so often. That’s why I personally chose to stay fairly close to home.

It's saddening to hear that parents basically disown their child just because they're gay. The child probably still loves his/her parents very much and they can't do anything about it. That's a smart decision of you to choose a college that isn't too far away from you because if you get home sick, you can go home easily, I however need over seven hours to get home.
