Teenagers Need To Realize, Sooner.

    My dream job, since I was 7, is an Architect of some sort. Pictures of mostly modern day architecture is my kind of eye candy. I don’t know why, i guess it’s just the fact that architects create a structure, on paper, that eventually becomes more than just a technical drawing.

    But anyway, me being 16 years young, going into my junior year, I am entering the most important beginning of my future. I have recently been researching on how to reach my goal of earning a Masters, minimum; and just like any other career, getting a Masters degree takes a lot of education. But the worst part of going to college is…going to college; with the strong possibility of separating from your family at home for years.

    No, the worst part is not in terms of financial status towards tuition, but losing the strongest support you will have in your life. And I came to realize that when the middle of June of 2011 comes around, there’s going to be a lot of weight on my shoulders, which I will have to bestow in order to do do what I want to do.  Seeing this, I now look back at my earlier childhood, wishing: Man, I wish I had the ability to comprehend that this was coming. I do so bad, because I would have fully appreciated the care that my parents have given me, because I will never be looked after and mentored with such affection as I did during my childhood years.

Now.

   The end of senior year may, in reality, be in only a couple years, but to tell you the truth, I feel as if the end of the beginning will be over within the same amount of time as displayed by a watch. All I can do now is prepare for my future.
