Today’s the day my life begins.
Today I become a citizen of the world.
Today I become a grown up.
Today I become accountable to someone other than myself and my parents…
Accountable for more than my grades.
Today I become accountable to the world…
To the future, to all the possibilities that life has to offer.
Starting today, my job is to show up
Wide eyed and willing and ready.
For what?
I don’t know… For anything, for everything
To take on… life
To take on love
To take on the responsibility and possibility
Today my friends our lives begin
And I for one, can’t wait.
