Structure is a critical component in our life that keeps us grounded. School has always
provided structure throughout your life. Now that school might be finished for you new
challenges are presented. Structure provided stability without you even having to think
about it. Now you might be filled with a sense of loss or confusion.
Times are changing. School, friend groups, your social environment, and dynamics with
family members are changing.
Now, that structure is changing. There could be some loss as you leave school or friend
groups. Your routine will be different.
On the one hand, you feel as though you are ready. You’ve been longing for
independence. At the same time, you feel apprehensive about the change and the
added responsibilities that come along with it. You have a choice about what comes
next and how you want your life to unfold.
