It's amazing how much time fly’s by. Don't we all
hear this saying all the time? Well I do, whenever I'm sitting alone somewhere
and all of a sudden start to think that I have been sitting in that same spot
for what feels just like two minutes but really it has been an hour. I have
encountered this experience numerous times, and I still hear family members,
friends, and sometimes complete strangers that I have never met before telling
me that time is ticking. Throughout my seventeen years of my life I would think
that I knew everything and that I didn't need help because I thought I had
everything under control. Truth was, I needed more help than I expected. Times
when I was around the age of seven I would always bug mom and dad about money,
asking them if I could go and buy this and that, having no clue on how hard
they've been working for the money they've earned of course it makes me wish
time machines were already invented because what I know has got me wishing
that I would not have had asked for so much from either one of my
parents.
Truth is if every little
child is taught to take full responsibility of his/her self then he/she will
never know what it is like to have fun and enjoy ones self. I see my little
five year old sister playing and smiling all the time, she is what makes my
family laugh during those gloomy days. Then again I sometimes get very annoyed
with my sister but I’m proud to say that I still love her even though we bicker
at one another just about everyday over little stuff. I would not want my
little sister to be having so much stress put on her miniature sized shoulder,
if that happened then there will be no more laughing and giggling around my
home. All the thoughts going through my head about college, graduations, and
scholarships has enough stress put on me as it is. I clearly understand why
little kids live a worry free life when they are young and as time keeps on
ticking eventually they will understand that they are soon to come face to face
with the decisions that I am enduring at this very exact moment in my life. So
I say enjoy the little one in your life it is already there job to make fun
moments for you, do not let them slip on by because that clock is still
ticking.
