It feels like my life is flashing before my eyes, and before I know it, I'll be off to college, competing with the big dogs, determined to make my stance in this world.
Personally, I feel, that as a freshman in high school, I shouldn't have to worry much about my future just yet. In fact, it's during this year that I should enjoy myself as much as I possibly can, for the world of 10th grade which awaits me, is like a roller coaster ride.... one which I may not have a firm grip on.
At this moment in my life however, I feel as if I'm a rubber band who is being being pulled in one million different directions, and and is about to reach the maximum stretching point.
On the one hand, I am ecstatic for the college life that awaits me, yet at the same time, I refuse to "abandon" my family and venture out into the world displaying independence. It would be like refusing life support during Coma!
In truth though, everyone will have to fly away from their nest one day, and in my case, that day is looming nearer and nearer. Rest assured, I still have four years left of my career as a student, and I truly do want to make the most of them. The best part is, I have a fairly strong idea of which path I am going to choose in the years to come...a path which will allow me to search deep within myself, in order to discover the truth that lies inside of me.
However, no matter what obstacles I may have to overcome, and no matter how tediously I am going to have to work, I know that one day, I WILL fulfill all of my dreams, and I know that I WILL make myself proud.
Now, some may assume that after high school, a cycle will have ended, a chapter will have closed. On the contrary however, a cycle will have just started, a chapter will have just begun. :)
