Creative Writing Assignment Analysis

             For my creative writing assignment I created a poem which was related to my research topic for my research paper for Psychology. The research topic for my research paper was parental support that helps young adults make a successful transition into college. Although my poem did not rhyme, my poem explained my view on parental support that helps young adults make a successful academic transition into college.  My poem also explained the changes that happen for a young adult when he or she is going into college. Also my poem explains how parental support can help make sure that a young adult is on track in college. This is what my poem is about.

Creative Writing Assignment

My creative writing assignment is a poem about how the support of young adults can help young adults make a successful transition into college.

Going To College

Parents are always there for you

From you’re first day of Pre-K, to your last day of high school

But this time you’re brought into a different environment that is completely new

Expectations change along with the friends you make and path’s you take to achieve your goal

But there is one thing that changes most of all

Your parents are not holding your hand anymore

There not there to make sure you do all your homework, and to manage your time

You’re on your own in a way because it’s time to grow up

But your parents are always a phone call away to make sure you’re okay

To make sure to help you whenever you need help

So you can succeed in college

It might seem like your growing up to fast

But it’s all a part of going to college.
