CHANGE

I’m scared to graduate. Being in senior year has been so surreal that it makes me forget of what’s to come next, which is of course graduation. Graduation is the next step to life for all of us, but for me, I don’t want it to come. I don’t want to leave the campus that has taught me so much; it is hard to let go of something that has been with you for so long. But, as much as I want to stay behind to avoid change as much possible, I know deep inside that I can’t. It would be wrong. I can’t stay in high school forever, it would be almost criminal to do so. We are given so much time in our lives that it is must to experience whatever you can. We have to be able to move out of our comfort zone and into the unknown. And if you are afraid to move out of your comfort zone in fear of making a mistake, don’t be. Making mistakes is how we learn, and don’t let anyone ever bring you down for making a mistake. Mistakes are to be learned from, and when we do learn from it, we become an even better person than before. Making mistakes and accepting change is how we get through the next step of our lives. There is no right or wrong way to do it, you just go for it. With graduation being inevitable accepting the reality is hard, but there is no other way to put it, you have to go through with it. Change is not a scary thing; it’s only scary if you make it out to be. It helps us to grow, to mature from the people we were before. If you have changed then you are not a bad person, you are just a new and improved version of yourself. I’m digressing right now, but I guess what I’m trying to say is that we should not be afraid of graduation, of moving on to the next step. Change is your friend, your guide, and it helps you to learn new things while also improving yourself. I'm not really good at saying a message so I will just end this here.
