Today I had the chance to walk upstairs to go see my counselor, and as I waited for her to call my name I cried. With the tears that fell upon my lap, I finally told myself how lucky I am that I only have a few more days till graduation and that everyone in my family is very proud.

I told my counselor that I was lost at first, but then I found myself on the right path and how truly am happy that I made it this far. My counselor shook my hands saying, “Yes! Congrats Linda, you have made it this far!

Again I started to cry thinking about how happy my grandma is in heaven with all the hard work I have done. Thinking about graduation makes me sad. First, I’m not ready to leave school. Second, I’m not ready for the adulthood.

I’m so not ready to move on to grown people stuff. But time: years, months and days all change and we can’t stop or slow it down. Life is hard, life is not easy, and we should not to play around with important things coming our way. Always prepare for what’s going to face you in the future.
