I wasn't able to post yesterday because some things came up and I wast taking my ACT on Saturday. I had to wake up at 6:45 in the morning. It was like waking up to go to school!
But today is the day I've turned 17. Wow! I'm pretty excited for what 17 has in store for me. I've closed chapter 16 of my life and today marks the first day of chapter 17.
It's exciting and scary at the same thing if I'm being honest. It's nice to grow up and mature. However, the more you grow the higher the expectation people have over you. Sometimes it can be a little suffocating, but all you have to do is push through it and make the people who love you proud.
I always try my best to make my family proud and strive to do something different, to be something different. My uncle had told me not to work at a 9-5 job. He had done it so I wouldn't have to. Hearing that, made me want to show him he didn't sacrifice for nothing, that none of my family sacrifices were for nothing, especially my mom's.
I know I talk about my mom a lot on here, but it's for good reasons. She's the one who made me who I am today. It's just amazing what she has done for me and how she stood by me no matter what. I'm glad that I have a mom like her and family standing behind me to help with anything I want to do. Lol, I still can't believe I'm 17 now!
