Don’t Rush

By: Davin Ortego

It is the end of the year again and everyone is so excited to leave. I understand, people are ready to get out of school, no more homework, and more fun times. But the truth is that we all need to slow down. Life is going by very fast. We are already in our upper teenage years and it seems like it is going so fast. Before we know it we will be adults, making our own decisions, and living in the real world. It will be scary and at times it will seem impossible, but don’t let this intimidate you too much. Life will hit hard, but we spent the last 16 or more years training to be ready to take everything that is thrown at us. It is time for all of us to grow up and become ready for real world challenges. It will be tough, but if we just remember all of our lessons and teachings we will do fine. Don’t rush, just enjoy every moment that you can.
