Change


As you grow up, you hear fairytales of the time you will grow up and start the rest of your life.

You have different people telling you that you can be whatever you want to be in life.

You have people supporting, encourgaging, and pushing you.

You. You have this whole world ahead of you to be everything you've ever dreamed of.

Yet, you're not ready.

It is scary. It is nerve wracking. Thinking about being without your people. In a new place, all alone.

It is change.

College is change. It is one of the first, yet most important changes of your life.

The one you work towards during your entire youthful education career.

You're scared, and feel all odds are against you. You want to give up and say goodbye to it all.

Until you realize, the people who were always there for you are staying through it all.

You have people supporting, encouraging, and pushing you.

You have the whole world ahead of you, and you are ready to become everything you've dreamed of.

It is change. Yet you are ready.

It is college, and I am ready.
