Your Life Has Just Begun

Four years of high school, everything seems so cool. Not thinking of how everything goes so quick, the thought of leaving makes you feel sick. from the start of it all, you start to bawl. Not ready to go you have to let everyone know, how thankful you are for getting this far. You look down and see your gown as green as can be it’s time to be set free. You hear Dr. Ladd call your name, your mom’s smile doesn’t look the same. She smiles with tears in her eyes, she’s afraid of goodbyes, as you walk away for college. You then begin to acknowledge adulting is hard, but you won’t be scarred! With your Diploma in hand, everything is just as planned. You start to feel like a man, your life just began.
