College life-Lost innocence

Well i think in every persons life this transformation or promotion is one of the major milestones in life.For me School was a Complete journey of 12 yrs at a single place and so my school became my 2nd home.The graduation ceremony of my school The Daly college is something i think every single person should witness,unlike other schools it is not a disc or dance party but infact a completely traditional ceremony which is enough to make you go back to old times, and not forget your school ever in your life,not only this i think it is enough to bring a tear to your eye.It is all about taking blessings from parents,teachers with songs being sung which explain the meaning of every round that is taken at the ceremony by the students.Also there achievements all throughout school are read out in front of everybody which gives parents enough reasons to be proud.I think for those people who have been to Daly College understanding why i call it a paradise and my 2nd home would not be difficult.
But life moves on, i think entering into college was a very difficult task for me specially because my college has a very small campus and nothing seemed to be like it was in Daly College.It was then that i realized why our teachers always told us that we live a very protected life,i think life in Dc never gave us insecurities and the people or the students where considerate and you never really needed to look for reasons to trust them.In a persons life being social is very important owing to the fact that man is called a social animal.I think College made me realize all the things that i would often read in books about steps on choosing the right kind of friends,about having to stick with your values,about how tough life actually is which i never really realized at school.I think College life also increased the expectations my parents had from me,i could no more be the person who used to get hurt daily and land up home,it made me realize that it was time to get matured,but till yet i don't know what people mean by saying be mature.In any case my experiences in the 1st yr of college were totally dreadful,with realizations on the kind of people there are,the mentality people have and i think it sure was a big shock.Watching people paying money for wrong tasks,blackmailing,fighting,swearing,trying to get numbers of girls and then misusing them... i think looking at all this and seeing the kind of people i think any day school life was better ,where we were so innocent,growing up is of course a part of life but if growing means having to lose your innocence and having to live between such people,dealing with them day in and day out i think its better to always be a child.I think noone is born with wrong values in them but till yet haven't been able to derive how and why people love being saddistic.
