Antoine de Saint-Exupery writes in his book “The Little Prince” about the values ​​of life and presents trust and confidence to the reader. At the same time Saint-Ex awakens his audience to look critically at themselves and implies challenges and difficulties in the lives of human beings. He expresses the danger of diminished relationship and security between human beings and their homes when he observes that “most human beings have no roots, which is really bad for them.” leave your home behind, it is still present. When students arrive at college, they leave behind their family and sometimes even family support. They must find a new place for safety and social life and must deal with influences such as new people and the environment. They have the opportunity to look back at their past social life from an objective point of view. Likewise they have the possibility of looking forward to achieving a new social life and independence from the old one, but the effort to leave the old world behind and establish an individual idea of ​​who and how they are or want to be, can create challenges. Establishing relationships with unknown people carries risks and may result in decreased safety. Students offer their own person for friendship, but at the same time they compare themselves to identify. Multiple encounters teach a lot about the new world and give first-year students many ideas about who and how they are. For these reasons, students must deal with many different and new emotions and feelings. Some will be proactive, but others will experience unpleasant feelings such as uncertainty and low self-esteem. This topic is also important for teenagers who are not students because every human being has to go through the process of identification...... middle of paper ......having to find their own way to the university they believe in and identify themselves. There is no single right way to succeed in college, other than living life, because every human being has a different history and personality with different feelings, abilities, willpower and goals.
