For high schoolers, changes are inevitable

Sometimes, when the conditions are just right I can see the future. Not with a crystal ball or from the help of a psychic hot line, but simply by picturing myself as who I am and then picturing who I want to be.


I can picture myself ten years from now but whether or not that will prove to be the truth is a completely different story. So maybe I won’t get a job as a fortune teller.
Some get so wrapped up in who they are now that they can’t imagine themselves being any different but the bitter sweet truth is; we all change. By thinking that who we are right now is exactly who we will be in thirty years is naive at best. The world of high school we have all become accustomed to is a training ground to prepare us for the fray of real adult life. When the gates are lifted we have to be ever changing. There is no schedule of classes or events, no bells hurrying us along, we have to create those things for ourselves in order to succeed. As a result we all will change.
Change can be scary, and may not always seem like a good thing, but it results in personal growth. Granted, some things may stay the same like taste in music or favorite food, but changing ideals and structure is a part of growing up. Resisting something so natural and normal results in missing
out on the opportunities that come with change. New experiences, new adventures and new people come around in life due to some sort of change or choice.
By accepting change in life and understanding how natural it is we can better ourselves and look into the future without a crystal ball and give the future freedom to change.
