Reality

Reality is something nobody wants to have to face, but when you have to, it hits. It hits you hard, like a ton of boulders falling down on you. You don’t know what to say, to do, to think, nothing. You feel lost, and you keep looking for something to take you away from it.

This week has been one big reality check, from realizing that some of my closest friends are going off to college in a few months. To realizing that in just a few months, I’m on my last leg of high school. It’s going to be my last year as a Clarkston Bantam.

From registration, to taking SAT’s to make sure I’m on track to graduate, and to start my life as a young adult. Soon, I too will be on my way to college; leaving my old life behind, to start a new one. A life that will help me learn and succeed in the biggest reality of all. Life.

For a Junior in high school, who still needs her mom to take care of her when she’s sick. It’s scary. I guess part of growing up is realizing the reality of things. There are the bright sides of it, but there are also the negative.  The way you chose to take it, is the way your life will be.
