I can't believe sophomore year is almost over! It's crazy. I feel like just yesterday we were in kindergarten. I'm almost sixteen years old, and almost done with high school. I have mixed feelings about it. In one perspective, I don't want to leave my friends, and really I don't want to leave my childhood. On the other hand, I'm ready to grow up, and experience life. I'm ready to blossom, and live up to my potential. The only question I have is… what is my full potential? I feel like I'm the only one that's still completely confused about what I want to do with my life. This year changed everything. I've been told to live to my full potential. I've been taught since I was five years old that life is short, and I have so many decisions to make. Education has been inserted into my everyday schedule. It's become routine. Letting go of a routine that's been repetitive for over ten years is going to be a hard thing to do. Am I ready? Will I ever be ready? Maturity and age go hand in hand, and wisdom grows with time. Have I had enough time, and experience to really call myself mature? I view myself as mature, and I continue to grow in God, in knowledge, and in love with every breath I take. But how will I know when I've grown enough to move on and become my own person? Graduation in inevitable, and I believe it will come sooner than later. I want to leave, I want to have a family of my own, but I don't want to leave my family here. Growing up is a hard thing to do, but staying young is even more of a challenge.
