I would make sure I have everyones contact info and vice verse. You can't think about it too much but to move forward. That is why change is good! It makes you a stronger person and teaches you how to adapt. But don't ever forget where you came from.

Answer 12

Are you talking about physical, psychological, or emotional preparation?

Physical :

- get a new address book and encode all important numbers, address, email...

- bring clothes that you only need.

- spend more time with friends and relatives

- take some token from your home so you could be reminded where you came from.

Psychological :

- dont sulk. theres a good reason why you are leaving anyway

- its an experience. we cant find everything in your hometown

- your home is where your heart is. its not just where you are now

- people you will meet there

Emotional :

- you are not alone. even if you're far away, your friends and your family will always be there for you

- its part of your destiny

- seek guidance from the Lord, He will guide you wherever you go

Good luck. may you be happy with your journey.

Answer 13

I carry with me all the valuable things that was given to by my friends and relatives, such as letters, pictures, and others... also, we get to exchange phone and/or cellphone numbers, e-mail addresses, or even home addresses, so that we won't lose contact...

It's really hard leaving your hometown... just be strong and think positive... don't think that you'll never go back...
