You are You

My parents always told me that I could be whoever I wanted to be. So I became me. I guess you could say I’m unique. I guess you could say I’m talented or creative and adventurous. These past years of life had whirl pooled into a cyclone of memories drowned in thought, despair and excitement. The thing with memories is they don’t change, as everything revolving around us keeps progressing forward. I think about memories as much as I create them. Walk on the Greenside. It sticks to my mind like a piece of pink hubba bubba gum, bonding onto a stranger’s shoe. I guess you could say I swept the audience off their feet. Gracefully gliding onto the runway past the judges, they didn’t delay automatically handing me first prize. At the very top of a mountain I have once yodeled my mother’s maiden name. It repeated back four times, "Escobar, Escobar, Escobar, Escobar" one less loud than the other. High as the Himalayas to the deep dark sea of Mariana’s Trench, every living organism has heard of my being. I have dived into the deep oceans. Teasing lionfish, thrilled by the chance of being pricked by their deadly venomous spine. I’ve ridden the Great Colossal squid who rules the species of squids due to its length of 14m. The squid has taken me to the Titanic where we have mourned for lost souls trapped in the hull of its once glamorous ship. We even drifted among the ocean currents ending up in the Ring of Fire. I know the secret to keeping the world at peace, better yet keeping peoples stomachs from talking a deep, unattractive, growl. No walls show inside my house, as they are covered with shelf’s of books. I have the keen knowledge of everything I have read. Thus does not include my fantasy of meeting Harry Potter or fighting villains on the downtown streets with Spiderman, being his mate able sidekick, Spiderwoman. I have been in the X- Games twice, winning in the freestyle skiing category , first year with my easy superman cork 9, while the second year I didn’t even bother putting effort because I knew I’m the best skier the universe has ever seen. In the hot, dry deserts near the Valley of the Kings, I discovered a marvelous tomb with only using a spoon to dig it out. The treasures inside the tomb were everlasting and priceless; something any man would go crazy for. I have done many achievements in my life so far but its time to put the adventures on hold and go to collage.

Wise old people tell me the best thing you can do, is do things now. Why wait when people have opportunities to achieve things every day, at every moment? When I listen to seniors passionately describing how they wish they could of grasped life differently, it all comes into the same perspective: “Life is counted by the memories, enriched wisdom and experience. Not by the days or breath a person takes." It makes me think hard of what I’ve accomplished in my life so far, from child hood when I climbed my first tree, all the way to walking in those front doors anxious and nervous, on the first day of school. Realizing "hey man... I’m in grade 12, that’s awesome!" My mind runs but I can never catch it until I have sudden realization of something. This realization, a stream of light is that I could have done things differently in the past. When people walk down the hall way there’s a choice of making someone smile and saying "hey!" or you can walk emotionless pretending not to notice anyone. How about doing homework right after school instead of procrastinating till the night before? Life is easy if people make it easy, but it could also be very difficult if people make it difficult. Same with grade 12. It’s the stepping stones of growing up into the real world. So why not make it as easy as possible? Attendance is crucial, effort is everlasting and a positive attitude spreads like disease. My path towards graduating grade 12 is the easy way, what’s yours?
