Rewind Please?

"Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble

with the world, too many people grow up.

They forget."

~Walt Disney

8th grade year felt like a blur to me, now that I realize it.

It felt like it was such a long school year but

now I wish it went by longer, I miss junior high.

I miss all the teachers, not having a ton of homework

and just having fun.

I love high school, but it's not the same,

I have to focus more on school work

and there's countless hours of homework every week.

I wish I could rewind my life back when I was

younger, or at least pause it for a little.

My mom always told me to enjoy my teenage years,

and now I'm finally realizing that I should be,

because I'll soon be graduating and

I'll be on my way to the real world

working and going to college.

I always wanted to be older than I was,

but now that I'm a teenager there's

nothing special about it, besides

having more freedom. I wish I could

have stayed a kid a little longer and

wouldn't have looked into the present so much.

I'll make sure to enjoy these last three and

half years left of high school, because after

that there's not much fun for awhile.
