Change can come in different ways but it always comes. It can be your hair color, your status, your grades, your friends, basically it's everything you have and everything you might have. My third year in high school is harder than my second and is as important as my last. So that means I can't screw up this time and expect it to be okay because most likely it won't be. It's like being second in line in everything because I see what happens, I know what to do but it still isn't my turn. I'm not confused but I'm still unsure, thinking "that's going to be me next time" and next time just around the bend. I want to do so much but I honestly don't know where to start. And that's just like me, I suck in games where there's a time limit, where you know you have to be fast and alert or else you'll lose. Last Sunday my family played "Hep, hep, Hooray!", guess who was first person to lose. I didn't lose once but twice, the first one was a trial run. Everything would be in slow motion and when it gets back to normal my first thought would be "Huh?" and then "oh crap". So what does a teen like me do when they've only got two years left in high school and one is being spent getting good grades (that are hard to get because of a ridiculously cramped schedule) while still trying to have as much fun as possible? I sleep at 9:30 in the evening, I drink a lot of water, I eat well-deserved desserts and I read and I use the CP. A good teen is a happy teen because happy teens can concentrate, have fun, learn and are able stay awake during class. My sister used Jordin Spark's song "One step at a time" to describe her years in nursing college. Everybody who's at my age and who has the same situations that I have can relate to thit song.

"Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush"

-Jordin Sparks, One Step at a time

Sometimes I don't care if I don't get the A's that I want. In times like that I'm having so much fun and I remember that I'm supposed to have fun, I'm supposed to be happy. Our teacher told us to always remember that every choice we make shapes who we are and decides what our future will be. I know what my what my choices will bring and sometimes i won't like them but that's how it's supposed to be. In some situations things have to go wrong to become right. So whatever mistake I make I'll learn from it and I'll do what I can to make it right again.
