"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." - First letter from Paul of Tarsus to the School of Corinth, Chapter 13, verse 11 Past couple of days have been interesting. Yesterday I woke up at 5:45 so that I could get ready to bring my friend to the bus station. She was leaving for England. I've always had the feeling that my childhood was slipping away, and yesterday serves as a metaphor for my coming of age. I said goodbye to a friend. I dropped her at the bus station at around 7:15. I said goodbye to my past and I left it behind. I turned the keys and started driving into my future.
Now the end of High School is dawning upon me. On one hand I'm greeting the end with gratitude because I do not like my school. I look forward to attending Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire. On the other hand, I'm saying goodbye to everything that I've ever know; I'm leaving my friends, family, and scenary behind at least physically. I'll miss their prescense in my life.
I think, therefore I am.
