You made it.
Well here it is. The night before I become an adult. Where did my time go exactly? The last times I remember was when me and dad was sitting our small boat fishing and turtles kept biting, or the time where I laughed so hard I nearly choked to death on air. All the summer bonfires as us kids just stared into the night sky while the smoke took our dreams to the stars. 
 
 I remember. A diesel truck driver, a cheif, a hair stylist, a nurse, a soldier, playing the guitar; those were our dreams. When we were kids. What happened to that? 
 Why did we stop dreaming?
 
 Now I am forced to grow up, act my age and pretend I want to be apart of a society that forgets how to be a child and have fun for once. 
 
 I remember Peter Pan. He never wanted to grow up, always having an adventure when he wanted to! Why can't I have a life like that?
 
 Well in a few hours you'll be grown up. Congraduation; you made it.
