Freedom
Freedom is amazing. This summer, I have experienced the incredible factor of my parents trusting me for once. Maybe it isn’t trust, it may simply be the factor of them finally realizing that I am a grown person, who is leaving for college in less than a month. I really wish I could have convinced my mother of my trustworthiness long ago. I never really gave her a reason to not trust me. I have never done anything wrong, I believe at most I lied to my parents once about where I was going, but I didn’t even end up going there. But the mere fact that I had the intent to go to the party and lie to my parents about it produced enough guilt that I consider it to be lying. I feel like such a goody-two-shoes. Who have you ever heard of that has never lied to their parents about where they are going to be?! I can hardly think of ONE! It will be very interesting to see how I handle college. I am either going to be perfectly fine, or I will go crazy. Am I going to be able to manage my time even with all of the freedom I will have? I have always been told that I spread myself to thin. Am I going to do that this year? For the next four years? I just hope that I wont turn into that person who screws up their whole life by not paying attention to or spending enough time on the truly important things for me to grow into an even more rounded person.
