FROM A BOY 2 A MAN (LIKE A TREE)


Approaching my life, no longer as a student, but as a man, is pretty frightening to me. For there is so much that is in store, being that I am just another. Another, in a world or others. Looking for meaning in my being through the depictions that I have derived from the others. Just another thing that I do, though I never intended to. More as, I did intend to do it but I was not cautious because this is my born human characteristics.
It has become evident to me that the direction of my life, or the life of those in the books that we have read, or even those of every other man on the face of the earth have had numerous encounters with the fork in the road, otherwise know as choice. I have come to realize that humans are incapable of making decisions that are contrary to their favor. Though that anguish may force unlikely considerations that would have never crossed your mine otherwise. Unable to refrain being influenced by conflicting feelings we are subject to those feelings.
It took the near completion of the required educational process, to realize that I have grown up working to be something. To be someone. I have all these aspirations to be great and successful everything I do. And up till now I have been doing it only because I was told to. I have woken up every day and came to a building to learn what someone else thinks is important. Many of which I could care less about. But I did it. Only because it was required, and I wanted to please EVERYONE, including myself. And excellence was all I stood for. So no matter what I did, regardless of weather I was pleasing myself, or if I was pleasing someone else. It was alright with me as long as I was the best at what I was doing.
So if I learned anything I learned that I will continue to do what is that has made me happy all my life. And that is to be the best. Hovering in the top of my class no matter what it is that I decide to do. This is because it made me happy. Being the best. So I will go into the next stage of my life with my mind set, that I will thrive and excel.
