Beginner's Journey

Every story needs a beginning 

A beginning to walk down 

Like you going for a stroll

With all the star glazing

A beginning to start their journey

To live the life they wish to walk

To grow to experience and evolve

To travel to foreign lands through

A road that goes across vast waters

To attend a social event

And to bond with strangers with similar interests

To bond with others means to boost your morals

To express your thoughts

To not have a sibling is a lonely dark path

But to have will brighten that path

To go on an adventure to a magical land with your familia 

To create a memorial magical moments 

Time continues to flow, We continue to paddle our way

Through the strong current that prevents us from reaching our hopes and dreams

Did you ever feel that growing up would be a change of your life or at else felt different. Well, I did for one felt a change to myself. It wasn’t a physical change but a mental one at that. Have you ever felt that something didn't feel right, well for me, it’s age. I know, I know, it's very common to everyone but to me, it's one of those times that would be a big change in your life. Like for example, someone I know felt that the incident of 911 was a big turning point for them that it became like a trauma, hearing explosions and builds turning into rumbles. 

During the young childhood years felt like nothing has changed and it was a point of time that I did really give much thought on the upcoming years ahead. During the whole elementary school years I still did not have much of a future and usually wished that this kind of life would last forever but, oh, how naive of me to think. At the beginning of middle school, I didn’t have much in mind either but in the middle year of middle school, it came to me when I was scolded by my father. The scolding by him was about the responsibility that I will have to endure in the future when I grown up. This phrase left an impression on me. Almost every night from then on, I doubted and wondered constantly, whether I was doing good or bad in my studies. My head would spin  around sometimes with things clashing against each other. This was not a pleasant time for me, I wasn’t bright but I'll try my best to help myself in order to become better. That is until high school. 

high school was different but the start was rough. The whole first year started as a remote learning environment due to the pandemic that has taken place in the city. This was at first seen as a good thing for many children but some didn't see it that way. Overall it wasn’t the time that I doubted, it was the knowledge that I was getting closer to becoming an adult. After every second, minute, hour, and days, it just crawls closer in every inch. After 2 years in high school, in my final year, I was officially 18 years old. I felt no physical change but the mentally was different. Since this is the start of a new chapter, I felt anxious and scare of the path ahead but we all know that we can eventually overcome this challenge.
