            Why does time go by so fast?  Here I am a senior in Washington high School and ready to start my adventurous future. "Am I scared?" you might ask. The true reality is that I'm not sure. When it comes down to be thinking of all the things I'm going to be responsible for, I stop and think if I am capable of it. Personally I believe that I am, simply because I have the great education my parents gave me. How my dad always says "It's not how hard the problem is but how hard you try to solve it."

            Now life its not going to be a joke for me anymore, every step I take and every movement that I do are going to influence the next steps in life. So how do I know to stay in the correct path? I don't there is not an answer for that, its all up to me. The education I got from my parents, teachers, and friends are going to help me make the wise choice. If I fall o'well because I'm going to bring myself back up. I know that I have full potential to take myself anywhere I want to go. I know what is good and bad for me, so if I listen to my wisdom I am always going to stay in the correct path.

            Another quote that keeps me highly motivated is my dad saying "don't ever end up like me. I want you to have a great career and won't have to suffer like I do." Every time my dad says that tears come out of my eyes. My dad is my hero. He never stops. He does independent studies and works full time. When he was small my grandparents didn't give him the education that he deserved. So now I have someone to work for and impress.

 As I sit down right now I realize that there is only three more weeks until I graduate. Thirteen years of my childhood just went by. It's incredible how time passes so fast. It was just yesterday when I was in kindergarten and look at me now, I'm ready to graduate!
