New word "cope".

Today I learned a new word and I want to know if I understand the meaning  so  I will try to use on the best way possible. The word is "cope".
When I was trying to choose my career, I had two options. These options were not in my city. I was young and I did not want to be far away from home or my parents. So, I saw myself having a future only in my city. At that time I was coping with a lot of thinking, stress and fears. In the end, I decided to travel to another city where I started and finished my career. Nowadays, I have my college degree and I am trying to improve my English skills so that I can do my masters degree abroad. Now, I enjoy staying far away from home, but the most important part of this is the many things that I have learned. I can to cope with my emotions, feelings and situations.
