“It’s true that State College is
quite different from rural Dallas,”
he said. ‘I like it better down there;
though, because they have made
everything so convenient. Every-
thing a student needs is within
walking distance.”
Bill agrees his first few months
away from home has been a grow-
ing experience for him. Ironically,
his parents feel it has been a
growing experience for them also.
According to Mrs. Isopi, this is a
time when you know you have done
everything for your child, and so,
you must let go. She is quick to
point out that the child isn’t the only
one who can explore new experi-
ences at this time, though.
“You can begin to do things for
yourself once again, but only after
you're completely sure you've done
what you can for your child,” she
said, glancing proudly at her son.
The ‘“letting-go’’ process wasn’t
all that easy for Bill, Sr., however.
The day after they moved Bill down
to the campus, Mr. Isopi called his
son’s dorm four times and, he
admits, he misses his son very
much.
Things are especially difficult for
Bill Sr. when it comes time for
things he and his son always did
together such as hunting, chores
around. the house and all the sports
they used to enjoy together.
“] know we’ll be able to do them
again in the summer,” said Bill Sr.
“I'll just keep thinking of that.”
Bill’s parents say the biggest
changes they have experienced are
the little every day things.
“It was nice to know before that
Bill would be home from school
when we got home from work,” said
Mrs. Isopi. ‘‘Now, the house just
seems so empty and quiet.”
Mrs. Isopi also admits that while
Bill is away, she tries to keep all of
his personal things clean and in its
place. “I like to especially have his
bedroom the way he left it when he
comes home.”
The old adage, ‘“There’s no place
like home,” fits perfectly here. With
a family as close as the Iospi
family, it has an even more special
