In the following box, list three rites of passage you have experienced:

What emotions accompanied each rite of passage--anger, avoidance, happiness, or feelings of fight-or-flight?

Describe the rite-of-passage going to college. Were you excited, terrified? Maybe both. What did your parents or a friend do to help you out? In your response, detail one event--perhaps buying a new computer or saying good-bye to a girlfriend/boyfriend in the airport–that signified the rite of passage.
